A Breath Away
[Verse 1]
So quickly we all disperse like a cloud of smoke
Evoking passed vows, we regretfully broke
We're all so short lived
With having so much to give
There's nothing left here anymore
There was hardly a thing you asked for....
You only asked for a moment to breathe
Never had I seen this coming
(Never even thought it would happen)
[Hook]
And I was just a breath away
You were slowly slipping away
Barely a trace left here of you
Your time wasn't even due
I held my breath as you breathed
[Chorus]
Gone in an instant without last words to say
And without a note you were taken away
Maybe if I knew I could've reached you
Were we just not made to make it through?
Cause you're so much more
With so much in store
(It wasn't your time, it wasn't your place)
[Verse 2]
Light of day had shined on us all
But it was just a calm before the storm
A moment to catch breath before we'd fall
Freezing all that was once warm
Forever drenched in pain
But you haven't gone in vain
(We'll live for you)
[Hook]
And I was just a breath away
You were slowly slipping away
Barely a trace left here of you
Your time wasn't even due
Holding my breath while you breathed
[Chorus]
Gone in an instant without last words to say
And without a note you were taken away
Maybe if I knew I could've reached you
Were we just not made to make it through?
Cause you're so much more
With so much in store
(It wasn't your time, it wasn't your place)
So quickly we all disperse like a cloud of smoke
Evoking passed vows, we regretfully broke
[Bridge]
A circuit cut too short
Disconnected
You're time wasn't even due
There's only so much we can do
But maybe if I knew
(You just couldn't take it anymore)
(If only I had seen it before....)
As you lie here,
I'll lay here with you
And as I fall asleep,
I'll follow suit,
Fall asleep eternally with you
And as I lie here,
You're here with me
Here in my dreams
As I fall asleep,
You're here with me,
And I'll follow suit
I'll lay right next to you
Fall asleep eternally with you
You're here with me, in my dreams
Stay with us, just stay with us
Please, stay with us
I hold my breath as yours slips away
