Lyrics
TILL YOUR DYING BREATH
by Connie K. Lim/Patricia Bahia/Athena Marie Byrne
You loved me so hard
I went numb
Held me too tight
Had to run
Called out my name
Couldn't make me come
Killed us off
Didn't even need a gun
You never let me miss you
never let me breathe
kept your arms around me 6 feet deep
CHORUS
I let you go, there's nothing left
But you will love me till your dying breath
I let you go, a kiss of death (up melody)
But you will love me till your dying breath
Waited for thunder
But it never roared
Choked on your sunshine
Cuz I needed a storm
Always got my way
You couldn't handle a war
You gave me too much
I needed more
More fire more steam
More bang more screams
More ooo more ahh
You'll never be the man of my dreams
[CHORUS]
