Breathe Lyrics by Issa

ISM

2014

Seven days and too many nights
No phone calls to put things right
I hold up my hands, raise the white flag
But why should I

It wasn't what I said but what I didn't say
You can never win when the rules can't change
I turn a blind eye, look other ways
But why should I

Play the fool while you wear the crown
It's time for you to be the clown

As I live and breathe
Tonight is the night
If it's up to me
We'll never make it up, we'll never survive

Too many times and too many ways
I bend over backwards to get you to stay
I'd go through your hell for heaven's sake
But why should I

Round and round we go forever more
What the hell are we fighting for
Broken heart all over the floor
But why should I

Play the fool while you wear the crown
It's time for you to be the clown

As I live and breathe
Tonight is the night
If it's up to me
We'll never make it up, we'll never survive

As I live and breathe
Tonight is the night
If it's up to me
We'll never make it up, we'll never survive
