lyrics

I was there when your heart stopped beating
I watched the line go flat
And all I heard was the sound of static
As you faded to black

All of a sudden I can’t breathe and
And it’s a long way back
All of a sudden I can’t breathe and
And it’s a long way and it’s a long way back

Every day is the first day of your life
Until it’s not
It’s a cliche you can’t stand but
But it’s all I’ve got

All of a sudden I can’t breathe and
And it’s a long way back
All of a sudden I can’t breathe and
And it’s a long way and it’s a long way back

And if you try to be something that you’re not
You’ll never see
Past the lies that form on your lips
And fall so gracefully

All of a sudden I can’t breathe and
And it’s a long way back
All of a sudden I can’t breathe and
And it’s a long way and it’s a long way back
