Like a melody that is impossible to play away
In my memory there's a part of you that's gone away
To keep my mind from wondering
I'm wondering
To keep myself on falling
I'm following

[Chorus]
Something Anything just to keep on living
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep on living
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer

I'd tell you anything if I had anything to say ehh
I keep a battle in 'cause there's a time and there's a place for this
I keep my story where it is
An act this it
Don't even all wanna this
When all I need is

[Chorus]
