I’m Still Breathing

I leave the gas on 

Walk the alleys in the dark 

Sleep with candles burning 

I leave the door unlocked 

I’m weaving a rope and 

Running all the red lights 

Did I get your attention 

‘Cause I’m sending all the signs that 


The clock is ticking 

And I’ll be giving my two weeks 

Pick your favorite shade of black 

You’d best prepare a speech 

Say something funny 

Say something sweet 

But don’t say that you loved me 


I’m still breathing 

But we’ve been dead for awhile 

This sickness has no cure 

We’re goin down for sure 

Already lost our grip 

Best abandon ship… 


Maybe I was too pale 

Maybe I was too fat 

Maybe you had better 

Better luck in the sack 

No formal education 

I swore way too much 

I swear you didn’t care 

‘Cause we were in love 


So as I write this letter 

And shed my last tear 

Know it’s all for the better 

That we end this here 

Let’s close this chapter 

Say one last prayer 

But don’t say that you loved me 


I’m still breathing 

But we’ve been dead for awhile 

This sickness has no cure 

We’re going down for sure 

Oh we’ve been diagnosed 

So let’s give up the ghost
