Intro:
I leave the gas on, walk the alleys in the dark
Sleep with candles burning, I leave the door unlocked
I m weaving a rope and, running all the red lights
Did I get your attention? Cause I m sending all the signs that...
The clock is ticking, and I ll be giving my two weeks, pick
Your favourite shade of black, you d best prepare a speech
Say something funny, say something sweet
But don t say that you loved me
Chorus
Cause I m still breathing
But we ve been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure, we re going down for sure
Already lost a grip, on this abandoned ship
Oh...
Verse 2 (Same as verse 1)
Maybe I was too pale, maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better, better luck in the sack
No formal education, And I swore way too much
But I swear you didn t care
Cause we were in love
So as I write this letter, and shed my last tear
It s all for the better, that we end this year
Let s close this chapter, say one last prayer
But don t say that you loved me
Chorus
Cause I m still breathing
But we ve been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure, we re going down for sure
Already been diagnosed, so let s give up the ghost
Cause I m still breathing
But we ve been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure, we re going down for sure
Already lost a grip, on this abandoned ship
Oh... Yeah Yeah Yeah...
Oh I m still breathing I m still breathing
Oh...
