Breathe life

I wouldn't compliment myself
For what I've become
Tell her I owe it to her
Tell her I owe it to her

I wouldn't praise myself
For every good thing I've done
Tell her I owe it to her
Tell her I owe it to her

Tell her I owe it to
Every heartbeat
Tell her I owe it to
Every exhale
Tell her I owe it to
Owe it to her
Hands upon my chest

Oh, won't you breathe life
Into these dead lungs
I keep under my coat
And keep life warm
Against the cold night
As our bodies grow old

I know when to give up
And I know when to breathe
Believe me, I owe it to her
Tell her I owe it to her

Tell her I owe it to
Every heartbeat
Tell her I owe it to
Every exhale
Tell her I owe it to
Owe it to her
Hands upon my chest

Oh, won't you breathe life
Into these dead lungs
I keep under my coat
And keep life warm
Against the cold night
As our bodies grow old

Oh, won't you breathe life
Into these dead lungs
I keep under my coat
And keep life warm
Against the cold night
As our bodies grow old

Take my silence as a warning
I will not deter your mourning
Take my silence as a warning
I will not deter your mourning

Oh, won't you breathe life
Into these dead lungs
I keep under my coat
And keep life warm
Against the cold night
As our bodies grow old

Oh, won't you breathe life
Into these dead lungs
I keep under my coat
And keep life warm
Against the cold night
As our bodies grow old
