Last Breath Lyrics - Singles - Paradise Fears

these tired eyes have been crying all along; 

they think that love is a bitter song 

and they think that we don't belong 

in this world of what we created, 

of all we hold so safe and true 

I was the one who abandoned you 

and you think that's all I can do 

your line's been drawn 

I'll take this shot and aim it true, 

pick up the phone and call for you, 

I'll never get the nerve to say, 

"are you with him, or are you with me?" 

I hope you find yourself, 

I hope you turn it all around, 

I hope you're holding on to me 

like it's the last breath you'll ever breathe 

It's hard to think of the nights we shared, 

breathing for two and gasping for air, 

choking on words I couldn't bare 

and she walked away; 

all I did was stare 

because I don't think she gets how, 

just how much I need her touch 

I would bleed for half as much 

but I'll never tell, 

no, I never will 

our lines are crossed 

I'll take this shot and aim it true, 

pick up the phone and call for you, 

I'll never get the nerve to say, 

"are you with him, or are you with me?" 

I hope you find yourself, 

I hope you turn it all around, 

I hope you're holding on to me 

like it's the last breath you'll ever breathe 

I guess it's our little secret, 

and you're just praying I keep it 

but how long will you leave these pages unturned; 

you keep playing with fire, baby one day you'll get burned 

can you promise me one thing? 

let's make this count for something 

you were holding me up, then dropped me to the floor 

first you show me your heart, then you show me the door 

I'll take this shot and aim it true, 

pick up the phone and call for you, 

I'll never get the nerve to say, 

"are you with him, or are you with me?" 

I hope you find yourself, 

I hope you turn it all around, 

I hope you're holding on to me 

like it's the last breath you'll ever breathe 

like it's the last breath you'll ever breathe 

make this the last breath you'll ever
