Inhale your airways till it turns into dust
I don't wish to grow old on your love when it feels like rust.
So if I die tonight to let you live a second longer, surely I will and must.

Exhale who I am onto to your flesh
Reckless as I am you'll still take up the mess.
Why not lie to me about how you're really feeling when you know it's hardest to confess

I'll take in all that you are, but shall I give.
I'd face all my Demons, probably lose my breath. Give my life for you so to live.

I'll face the wake even though I wish to sleep
Keep you as you are.
I'll do the most that hurts me on constant repeat
Willing that much to go this far.

Don't act so afraid if I raised my voice to bring you down to your place.
Don't let a tear run down your face.
Just find comfort in my loving embrace.

But don't try to lean on my pride
Nor ride the rollercoaster of my troubles,
For you won't enjoy the ride.

But still promise to stay by my side.

My fears may run like a river through my regret
And you'll think I may never face them. But you don't know yet.
For the course of that river is still not set.

I'll face the wake, though I wish not to,
I'll stick to my word even without glue
For I'd do it all for you.
