Where does the fire begin and where does it go?How do you finally decide when it's time to let go?Fear is the feeling inside that you’re not supposed to showI'm losing youI was looking for some kind of friend, some kind of mercyBut the one that I wanted the most haunts and deserts meYour last words to me were "Keep breathing"So I'm breathing in the breath you left behindAll of the times that we'vе had, they go to my headI'm spinning in images lеft, words left unsaidI'm mourning the mornings I'm missing with you, insteadI'm losing youPeople keep spitting out words like they were the cancerBut the word that I still haven't heard is some form of answerYour last words were "Please keep breathing"So I'm breathing in the breath you left behindI'm breathing in the breath you left behindI'm breathing in the breath you left behindYou left behindWords are what elegies say when they're unsureWords are what relatives say 'cause they've heard them beforeBut none of these elegant words make any sense anymoreI'm losing youNone of the words that I heard I could believe in'Cause none of the words that I heard made sense of you leavingYour last words to me were "Keep breathing"So I'm breathing in the breath you left behindYeah, I'm breathing in the breath you left behindYeah, I'm breathing in the breath you left behindYou left behind
