Breathing in and breathing out My head leaned back, my hands are tied I stand in here alone I scream Questions why Days slip by and nights I taste These memories run through my veins Injecting me with one last kiss Screaming why This medication can't save me And desperation takes hold of me I wanted to believe in all of this And I wanted to believe in you (You believed in me) All I am, all I have Leads me down these roads again Take my hand, show me the way And never bring me back here Determination is pushing me And perseverance is what I bleed I wanted to believe in all of this And I wanted to believe in you (You believed in me) All I am, all I have Leads me down these roads again Take my hand, show me the way And never bring me back here These are my unanswered prayers The time has come for me To say goodbye God please hear me calling All I am, all I have Leads me down these roads again Take my hand, show me the way And never bring me back here again Never bring me back here again Never bring me back These are my unanswered prayers The time has come for me To say goodbye God please hear me calling
