[Verse 1] You spend your days counting the hours you're awake And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same It's a burden you've been burying in spite of all your prayers As the light turns off inside your heart can you remember What it's like to care? Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe [Chorus] So give me the drug, keep me alive Give me what's left of my life Don't let me go Pull this plug, let me breath On my own I'm finally free Don't let me go [Verse 2] The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay With the memories that haunt us, I cherish just the same As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grave Yet I fall through these clouds and she's screaming [Chorus] So give me the drug, keep me alive Give me what's left of my life Don't let me go Pull this plug, let me breath On my own I'm finally free Don't let me go [Verse 3] This grip loosens but it never breaks We carry nothing but a name you will forsake Your words are always there to break my fall And now I find the comfort to see through it all [Bridge] Guide me through uncharted waters Before we lose our way again Will you be my compass Until forever, until forever ends Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe [Chorus] So give me the drug, keep me alive Give me what's left of my life Don't let me go Pull this plug, let me breath On my own I'm finally free Don't let me go [Outro] Don't let me go
