Today is the first day
And the last day that I cry for you
And here is the first place
That I can finally choose
Long ago I felt in control
But looking back, I see the truth
Oh, the truth
Well I'm hanging on my last breath
Can you help me breathe
Will I hold it all inside
And watch me fall to my knees
To my knees
Now and then I wonder when
From this world I will fall
And I drown myself with this wine
To help me get away from it all
Well I'm gasping for reality
On skinless knees I crawl
Yes I crawl
'Cos I'm hanging on my last breath
Can you help me breathe
Will I hold it all inside
And watch me fall to my knees
Why must we repeat the mistakes that we see
Why must I become the one I despise
Why must we repeat the mistakes that we see
Why must I live my father's life
'Cos I'm hanging on my last breath
Can you help me breathe
Will I hold it all inside
And watch me fall to my knees
Well I'm hanging on my last breath
Can you help me breathe, yeah
Now I'm choking on my pride
Watch me fall to my knees
To my knees
Today is the first day
And the last day that I cry for you
