Strength In A Breath Lyrics - Singles - Coretta Scott

Death be a liar 

Say that the morning will come soon 

And this dreary black cloud will soon be brushed away 

You sound shaky on the phone 

Where is he staying? 

No, that's fine mom 

I love you and I'll call you when I get there 

With my own discretion this drive will be peaceful 

Not a thought of the looming fact that rolls over and over again 

And I'll feed denial, 'till it eats my insides 

With each exhale the hand grips tighter around my neck 

Breathe deep 

This could be the last chance you get to say what you mean 

These buildings are blurry 

And my vision is tunneled 

These sterile white hallways tell stories of people that will never be the same again 

Please I need assistance 

Where's room 107? 

Down the hallway, past the stairwell, on your left 

Breathe deep 

This could be the last chance you get to say what you mean 

Please don't forget the good times that we spent together 

And don't regret a wasted chance to say "I'm sorry" 

And after all where do you think I got this temper 

There's only love
