[Say it with your hands, not your mouth...]
Breath Away


Say it with your hands, not your mouth.
Already whispered with your eyes,
Those words that the devil made you cry.
I can't be what you want me to be,
On the floor, dead,
Your last bullet through my head.
I wince in pain, already down. But
Im not losing without a fight.
Here's my gun, loaded with your words-
Be silent now, as you take my breath away.
Are you happy now that I'm down,
Or did you forget to think?

First shot- down
Now it's my turn.
Wipe that grin off your face,
I didn't say we'd never say goodbye.
This is the end for both of us.
I'm sorry it had to be like this.
I'll tell your family it was an accident...
They'll understand.
Are you everything they dreamed and more?
Or are all of your lies coming into light?
All those things you'd always say...
Darkness falls. Silence.
I guess I took your breath away.
