Lyrics:

Your ghost whispered in my ear again tonight
How am I supposed to breathe,
Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe.
Your eyes, running through my head tonight
How am I supposed to breathe,
Tell me how to fill these lungs

You kept tempting me with those eyes that swore,
That I would be the one to carry you through
Why don’t your promises mean anything to you
I’ve never met anyone else,
Who’s fought so hard to break down these walls
But now that I’ve let you in,
You’ve got what you wanted, so I’ll pay the price

Did I mean a single thing to you
Was I just another vice for you to use
Look me in the eye and say that’s not the truth
Spring evening rain will pour over my eyes,
Staring blankly while the tides consume me
Winter's haunting chill still bites at my throat,
Slowly freezing while your warmth aludes me

There comes a finite moment in time when meter and rhyme,
Become inadequate to express the pain that I’m feeling inside
When these metaphors and analogies cease to communicate,
What perpetuates out of the deepest facet of my being
We open up the most sacred and vulnerable part of our lives,
And place it in the hands of another
Our most pure devotion and affection,
Requited only by apathy and distain

So we choose to harden our hearts,
Refuse to let anyone in
Because that pain still flows,
Throughout the deepest part of our veins

But maybe we’ve been wrong,
Maybe our efforts were vain
What if love means more,
Then what we have to lose or to gain
Though our paths may part, something more precious remains
Our love lives on, it leaves the most indelible stain
With blood soaked hands and tear stained eyes
We’ve changed their story, we’ve changed their lives

So turn and run because you know I’ll never walk away
Nothing I wouldn’t have done, nothing I wouldn’t say
Ever single word that was spoken to you,
Was to show you know how much I cared
You kept tearing me down, but I’ll keep building you up
Because I needed you to know your worth
I needed you to know how much you’re worth
