The words slip out of my mouth,
I can't keep them inside.
I can't keep holding this in,
I can no longer hide.

But I can't pick the right words,
I don't know what to say.
I don't know how to tell you,
you save my life everyday.

Something is inside of me,
it's ravaging my soul.
That something is killing me,
it's swallowing me whole.

And I can't pick the right words,
I don't know what to say.
I don't know how to tell you,
you can't save me today.

This disease, inside of me,
will take my life away.
And I still do not,
know how to say,
you take my breath away.
