First Breath, Last Breath

I watched you bleed out

I watched your lungs cave

I saw that worst thing that I've ever seen

As I watched you slip away from me

And our daughter's first breath is the last one you will ever take

And I don't think I can make it on my own

Remember they said you'd have to sacrifice I know

But I was not prepared to watch the life drain from your soul

I have never felt so crushed, the sadness buried in my bones

How the hell am I supposed to raise a daughter on my own

I turn to stone when I look in your eyes

I lost the only reason that I'm alive

I don't know if any words will do (will do)

All that I know is I'm so in love with you

There was nothing that they could do

After three days of labor it's a miracle that anyone survived

I'm alive, but I'm dead inside

And I'm supposed to raise a child with a smile now

I used to wonder why people put bullets in their brains

Now it seems like the only way to stop this pain

How the fuck am I supposed to wake up every day

And pretend that I love her as much as I miss your face

I turn to stone when I look in your eyes

I lost the only reason that I'm alive

I don't know if any words will do (will do)

All that I know is I'm so in love with you

I watched you bleed out

I watched your lungs cave

I watched you slip away from me

And I don't think that I'll ever be okay
