Second Hand Smoke

I’m breathing like a hurricane, had one too many cigarettes
My knees gave out the second time around
As this bottle emptied straight into my mouth again
I’m really starting to resent the fact that you’re completely sick and gave up fighting for yourself
It shows

Guess I’ll take the blame once again
Just keep scratching at my limbs until I let you in

Until I let you suffocate this life right in front of me
This chance that I’ve been given
Until I let you suffocate this life right in front of me
This chance that I’ve been given

Breath till we die
Scream for the sun, will it ever rise?
And when my lungs become cavities of dust, not even death will replace what we’ve lost
Please choke me in regret for all the moments that we spent
“All alone” seemed so past tense. But now I’m crying out
“God please let me go back to where we started out”
I bite my tongue, try not to shout
Still, what I’m doing to myself does not deserve forgiveness

I’m giving out, I’m giving in
I think I've finally figured out a way to live, a way to let you in
I’m giving out, I’m giving in
I think I've finally figured out a way to live, a way to let you in

Breath till we die
Scream for the sun, will it ever rise?
And when my lungs become cavities of dust, not even death will replace what we’ve lost

A way to live
Still, this bottle empties
I’m trusting you
I’m sorry I am not a better man
I’m losing you
I’m sorry but I’m doing all I can
