One Last Breath

from We Just Pretend This is a War by rooFTops

lyrics

These days aren't quite the faded memories I wish that they could be
spit hate at the world a bit too late
with these fruitless words of war
and it's not as rewarding as I thought
to lay claim to this spot for the nothing that it's got
but I still hear these songs, I still witness all the wrongs
so the war must carry on, we must carry on

Yesterdays aren't quite the faded memories I wish that they could be
just a wake of the funerals and graves of the friends we had to bury and the dreams we'll never see
But it's pointless to dwell on what we've got
cos the grass is always greener and to dwell is just to rot
and I still hear these songs, I still witness all the wrongs
so the war must carry on, we must carry on

Give me one last breath and I'll be remembered
give me one final word in one last song
give me one last chance- one last note to go out on
give me one final word, it won't last long

Today is the day I have to live with all the choices I have made
My mistakes insignificant or great are the burdens that I carry, the scars that mark my face
but tomorrow is just a day away
a new day to run and hide or a day to make a change
So I keep holding on, I still wanna right the wrongs
so the war must carry on, we must carry on
