TAKE THIS BREATH FOR ME BECAUSE I CANNOT BEAR TO DO IT ALONE
PRAY THIS PRAYER FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE NO STRENGTH TO GO ON
YOU WONT UNDERSTAND ME - HOW I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO DIE INSIDE SO COMPLETELY
TAKE THIS BREATH FOR ME (AND HOLD ME CLOSE)
BATTERED BRUISED AND UNCLOTHED IN SELF PITY
BUT I CANNOT CHANGE MY CITY
DOWNTRODDEN UPON LIKE AN INSECT INFECT
I KNOW SO MUCH I HAVEN'T REALIZED YET
SO I CANT GO ON NO, I'VE TRIED AND TRIED (CAN'T GO ON)
TAKE THIS BREATH GOD, DRY MY EYES.
SO I CAN'T GO ON LORD I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T
BUT YOU LOVE ME, YOU BLESS ME
STANDING HERE IVE DIED INSIDE
CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL - BUT YOU LIE AND I'VE DIED
CALL IT WHAT YOU NEED - BUT YOU WANT MY LIFE
CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL - BUT YOU LIE AND I'VE DIED
CALL IT WHAT YOU NEED - WHAT YOU WANT IS IN FRONT OF YOU
IT'S YOU.
