Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart
Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you!
Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain
because you�ve been untrue!
You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die
and so am I - I die!

Lost forever within the debris of my dreams
I put my trust in you!
How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I�ve gone through
What the hell did you do?
Down on my knees I pray:�Save me, save me, save me, please!�
but no hope anymore - I die!

I�m trying not to breathe!
I can�t stand this anymore therefore I�ll leave
I�m trying not to breathe!
And so I�ll leave this world behind
broken by faithlessness of the killing kind
I�m trying not to breathe!

Remember when you called my name?
I�ve been always there for you!
To me it�s more than just a game
I loved you too much, and still I do!

Now your body�s so close to mine
I kiss your lips goodbye
To lie in your arms for a last time
before I die!

And he dreams of days gone by
Floating down to the other side
A thousand Angels cry
Firing squad against the walls of light

Not again another day
Now his love has lost the last stand
Oh Angels, hear him pray
As he�s passing away into her hands!

I�m trying not to breathe!
I can�t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I�ll leave
I�m trying not to breathe!

and so I try to leave the pain behind
of treason that became the killing kind
I�m trying not to breathe!

But you swore you�d love me forever
and it was only yesterday
What have I done to deserve this
Am I destiny�s fool?
And I hate you,
and I love you for what you�ve done to me
Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair?

I�m trying not to breathe
though I try so hard to reach the other side
I�m trying not to breathe
No more songs for me to sing because you leave
Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love!
Oh, I�m trying not to breathe
