I Had to Pay for Every Breath That I Took by My Only Lyrics

Vacant stare down at the shell of me, that's now been laid bare
Oh integrity, how could you leave me and why should I care?

My breath: burning a hole in my chest again
If you remember me, I don't care if everyone else forgets
I still feel the look that you gave me (but you saved me)
And the cold crept in just like you said

I had to pay for every breath that I took

But nevertheless, I'm still breathing
Nevertheless, breathless and beating in my chest

You're all that I'm not, it's never enough to me (I'm so sorry)
It's all that I've got and we're never apart now you've left me

Lay down beside me or I'd be lost

In your eyes I stayed a while
I said all I wanted that day
Oh dear love of mine, we've come so far
And I had no reason
And I had no time
Tell me how to feel
Tell me am I alive

I had to pay for every breath that I took
And I see through your words that day
Had I looked back down at the shell of me and I'd be lost
