Breath

Breaking Benjamin · Shallow Bay - The Best of Breaking Benjamin [2011]

I see nothing in your eyes

And the more I see the less I like

Is it over yet?

In my head

I know nothing of your kind

And I won't reveal your evil mind

Is it over yet?

I can't win



So sacrifice yourself

And let me have what's left

I know that I can find

The fire in your eyes

I'm going all the way

Get away please



You take the breath right out of me

You left a hole where my heart should be

You got to fight just to make it through

Cause I will be the death of you



This will be all over soon

Pour the salt into the open wound

Is it over yet?

Let me in



So sacrifice yourself

And let me have what's left

I know that I can find

The fire in your eyes

I'm going all the way

Go away please



You take the breath right out of me

You left a hole where my heart should be

You got to fight just to make it through

Cause I will be the death of you



I'm waiting

I'm praying

Realize

Start hating



You take the breath right out of me

You left a hole where my heart should be

You got to fight just to make it through

Cause I will be the death of you
