LIFE / DEATH

Breath in
it was only life
and everybody lies
breathe out
its only death
and every body cries
Breathe in
it was just life
you should have
seen it in their eyes
breathe out
its only death
and every body dies

I've been down the road before
one too many times not to know
I've seen the warning signs
I know again its time to go
its not your fault, its only mine
i knew better than to believe
i have no one but me to blame
it was only me whom i tried to deceive
moving on and yet looking back
having Friends is just too complicated
belonging to some place, some one
is so highly overrated

Breathe in
it was only life
was never supposed to be fun
Breathe out
its only death
and just the game you play
Breathe in
it was only life
it was never supposed to be won
Breathe out
its only death
and now its done

How much time will be enough
how far will be far enough away
how will i know i wont slip back
when i wish i was already there today
i don't want to be hurting others
i too no longer need the pain
why should i want to linger longer
there is nothing i have left to give,nothing
left to gain
I wrote my goodbye letter
i put it all in writing i left nothing unsaid
but realized it wouldn't fall on those who would not care
so I ripped it up instead

how much longer will the fragrance linger
how long will the memories last
how much strength will it take this time
to be sure that the addiction is past

Breath in
it was only life
just a game you play
breathe out
its only death
you were never meant to stay
Breathe in
it was just life
was not to be lost or won
breathe out
its only death
you put in your time and leave when your done

b r e a t h e o u t
its only death and everybody dies
everybody dies....................
