There are battles to be won and they rage within our hearts They crash in like waves as we try to keep our heads high They form us and break us and they surely leave their mark And its the decisions that we make that sometimes break a heart That's when people you know turn into someone you knew As we all strive for a better life promises made but it's basically lying And that's when we all have to recognize the obvious powers of honesty And how disillusioning a normal life can be but it makes us come to terms With who we really are and where we wanna be We all need words to live by and someone who can make us feel alive The stories our mothers told and the few things that we cannot hold We cannot hold our breath long enough to die I ran away from a city that died and ran away From a love run dry. And nothing has kept me there... My fate had been chosen I ran away from a city that died and ran away From a girl that cries. And nothing has kept me there. My fate had been chosen I wish i couldn't tell a lie A heart so pure like a babies cry Just one more look at my fathers eyes I fill my empty heart with you I don't need so much to stay alive Just a bed, a room, and someone to kiss goodnight These nights i cannot sleep i fill my heart with you I don't need so much to stay alive Just a bed, a room, and someone to kiss goodnight These nights i cannot sleep i fill my heart with you The stories our mothers told and the few things that we cannot hold we cannot hold our breath long enough to die we don't choose death it chooses us We don't look back, we take the ride I don't need so much to stay alive a bed, a room, and someone to kiss goodnight To kiss goodnight to kiss goodnight to kiss goodnight Erase these chapters from your past Sweet dreams die hard Wipe away these bitter tears from my face All our hopes die last Erase these chapters from your past Wipe away these bitter tears from my face All our hopes die last So take these splinters of my broken past From my trembling hands Cuz we cannot hold our breath long enough to die we cannot hold our breath long enough to die
