Each and every day,
I give God one breath that I now lack,
in the fools hopeless world,
that one day you'll come back.

I shed every one of my tears,
over a man and love that I have lost,
right now a broken heart,
seems a penniless cost.

I die a thousand deaths,
every time I think of the past,
it kills me just to imagine,
how I let you slip so fast.

Every day I force a smile,
so people can't discover my pain,
I buried it deep inside,
and thats where it shall remain.

When I wake up I say a simple prayer,
that once and a while you'll think of me,
so I don't become just another someone,
stashed away, like distant memory.

And I'd give back every breath,
if it would help you see,
I was made for you,
and you were made for me.

And I'd shed every tear,
if it would prove how much I care,
about you and your future,
even if I'm not there.

And I'd die a thousand deaths,
if it would make you change your mind,
about letting back in your heart,
which was a difficult place to find.

And I'd smile for eternity,
if I could have just one more day,
to tell you that I still love you,
and I don't want my seperate way.

And I'd say a prayer each day,
that you would be here in the end,
no matter what becomes of us,
and you'd remain my friend.
