why am I still breathing tonight?

cause hope slipped through my hands as I held it tight

and now I can't think of a reason to live anymore

and I'm wondering what my heart is beating for

another sleepless night in my bed

hearing hostile voices in my head

and I don't know where I end

and where the voices I hear begin



Chorus

so why can't I end the tears I cry

and just give in and finally die

can't I just wave my flag and surrender

and go to sleep and sleep forever

can't I just escape this pain once and for all

cause I can't take it anymore, feeling so small

I have run out of tears to cry

so I just wanted to tell you goodbye



why am I still breathing tonight?

with happiness so far out of my sight

I cried and screamed in so much pain

with no shelter from the pouring rain

everywhere I look shadows watch me

they hide in the darkness behind each tree

I see the eyes follow me again

I try to hide but they know where I am

Chorus



tell me why am I still breathing?

what is it that I am needing?

where did the world I knew go?

I try to think but I don't know

my thoughts are scrambled like an anagram

I am so disturbed that I can hardly even stand

they chose me and I'll never know why

so listen closely, this is my final goodbye

Chorus
