[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I leave the gas on, walk the alleys in the dark
~#**************#~
Sleep with candles burning, I leave the door unlocked
~#**************#~
Im weaving a rope and running all the red lights
~#**************#~
Did I get your attention? ‘Cause Im sending all the signs that
~#**************#~
The clock is ticking and Ill be giving my two weeks
~#**************#~
Pick your favorite shade of black, youd best prepare a speech
~#**************#~
Say something funny, say something sweet
~#**************#~
But dont say that you loved me
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im still breathing
~#**************#~
But weve been dead for a while
~#**************#~
This sickness has no cure
~#**************#~
Were going down for sure
~#**************#~
Already lost our grip
~#**************#~
Best abandon ship, oh
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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 didnt care cause we were in love
~#**************#~
So as I write this letter and shed my last tear, know
~#**************#~
Its all for the better that we end this here
~#**************#~
Lets close this chapter, say one last prayer
~#**************#~
But dont say that you loved me
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im still breathing
~#**************#~
But weve been dead for a while
~#**************#~
This sickness has no cure
~#**************#~
Were going down for sure
~#**************#~
Oh, weve been diagnosed
~#**************#~
So lets give up the ghost
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im still breathing
~#**************#~
But weve been dead for a while
~#**************#~
This sickness has no cure
~#**************#~
Were going down for sure
~#**************#~
Already lost our grip
~#**************#~
Best abandon ship, oh
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
~#**************#~
Oh, Im still breathing, Im still breathing
~#**************#~
Oh
