Breathe for Me One More Time - DARK

Details

Description

This song is written from the voice of someone who’s already gone… but still in love.

“Breathe for Me One More Time” isn’t a plea. It’s the final sound of a soul tethered to someone left behind.

The screams in the chorus aren’t rage they’re pain without a body to hold it.

If you still feel me...
Just breathe. For me.

For anyone who’s ever lost someone they still love in every breath they take.

______________________________________


I’m already dead
But I still hear your crying
I’ve got no lungs…
But I breathe with you every time you’re breaking
No heartbeat left
But I feel everything when you’re thinking of me
You may not see me
But I stand beside you in every breath you force yourself to take



I’m not afraid of dying
I’m just afraid you’ll forget me
Afraid your every breath
Will never whisper my name again



Breathe for me one more time!
In a world where I no longer exist
Just one breath from your chest…
Could reach me in the place beyond the dark
Breathe for me one more time...
Before the last sound of me disappears



I saw you smiling through red eyes
I heard every word you never said
You played our song
But it wasn’t my voice anymore
I wanted to speak but I have no mouth
Wanted to hold you but I have no hands
Only this echo
That I don’t even know if you can still hear



I never really left
Just had no way back
But if you still remember me
I’m still “here”… in every breath you take



Breathe! For me! One last time!
You don’t have to love me just remember I was real
In your scars
In the choking silence
Breathe for me one more time…
Let me believe I still live in you


If I can’t return
At least let me know you still feel
I don’t want life again
I just want to be something in your world
A silence…
A shadow…
Just don’t erase me



Breathe for me… just once
It doesn’t have to be loud
Just close your eyes and say my name
I’ll be there… without a face
Please…
Don’t let me die again



Breathe for me one more time...
You’re the last voice I have
I won’t scream again
I won’t ask again
Just breathe for me one more time...
...before I become nothing
Breathe for me one more time…
Let me escape the void
Before even my name fades from your heart

Just breathe…
for me…
one last time.
