Today is the first day

And the last day that i cry for you

And here is the first place

That i can finally choose

Long ago i felt in control

But looking back, i see the truth

Oh, the truth

Well i'm hanging on my last breath

Can you help me breathe

Will i hold it all inside

And watch me fall to my knees

To my knees

Now and then i wonder when

From this world i will fall

And i drown myself with this wine

To help me get away from it all

Well i'm gasping for reality

On skinless knees i crawl

Yes i crawl

'cos i'm hanging on my last breath

Can you help me breathe

Will i hold it all inside

And watch me fall to my knees

Why must we repeat the mistakes that we see

Why must i become the one i despise

Why must we repeat the mistakes that we see

Why must i live my father's life

'cos i'm hanging on my last breath

Can you help me breathe

Will i hold it all inside

And watch me fall to my knees

Well i'm hanging on my last breath

Can you help me breathe, yeah

Now i'm choking on my pride

Watch me fall to my knees

To my knees

Today is the first day

And the last day that i cry for you
