One Last Breath
Creed · Weathered
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out, 'Heaven save me'
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me,
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to what I think is safe
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out, 'Heaven save me'
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me,
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to what I think is safe
One Last Breath
Released on Creed's 2004 album Weathered, "One Last Breath" stands as a defining track of the nu-metal genre, blending heavy distortion with melodic vocal delivery. The song reflects the band's evolution from their earlier pop-punk roots into a heavier, more aggressive sound characterized by rapid drumming and layered guitars. As a staple of their discography, it has become a cultural touchstone for the mid-2000s metal scene, often associated with themes of resilience and emotional intensity. Its enduring popularity ensures its inclusion in live performances and greatest hits compilations, cementing its place in the legacy of American alternative metal.
