Breathing

Another day goes by, and another day I'm drowning (Dm Gm C Am)
Another time "goodbye" is the last word we're allowing
To take the rest of us in this cold night (Bb Gm C C)
Another step and I get close to this place that feels like home
Another time you say "goodbye" 'cause a "see you soon" would be a lie

But I won't get myself together (Bb Gm C C)
Not as long as you're still there
'Cause you're the only piece I'm missing
And I don't want you to stay

You broke me but I'm breathing  (Bb Gm C Am)
I'm drowning I'm okay
I'm sorry that I wanna leave
The life you wanna get
'Cause you broke me but I'm breathing
I'm dancing with the death
The time is getting slower
As this vals gets to it's end

Another letter that I wrote you and another one I burn
Another time our eyes connect but it seems you'll never learn
To take the rest of us in this cold night
Another knot and it gets tight, the necklace that I want
Another sharp piece that I slide trough my arm

And I won't get the pieces together
Not as long as you're still here
And you're the only piece I'm missing
But I don't want you to stay

You broke me but I'm breathing
I'm drowning but I'm okay
I'm sorry that I'm leaving
The life we could share
But you broke me but I'm living
I'm dancing with the death
The time is getting slower
As this vals gets to its end

And I'm concerned that you're scared Gm Am Bb C
'Cause you think is wrong to feel love
But even worse, let me tell you
Is pretend to be someone you're not

  You broke me but I'm breathing
I'm drowning but I'm okay
I'm sorry that I wanna leave
The life you wanna get
'Cause you broke me but I'm breathing
I'm dancing with the death
The time is getting slower
As this vals gets to it's end

This is the end
