LESLEY ROY

- Dead But Breathing Lyrics

Well, it finally had to end this bitter way
We had no more left to give no matter what we said
'Cause I worried every night and slept all day
I was lying to myself pretending to be someone else

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go, we're going nowhere
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'
Just let me go 'cause it's over

So you try to work it out and get some help
You've been fooling everyone but I know what's going on
I can't hold your hand through this again
We keep lying to ourselves pretending to be something else

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go, we're going nowhere
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'
Just let me go

I'm sorry that I couldn't stay to fill your empty space
It's alright, you'll be fine
I know that you'll be better off in a different place
It's alright, you'll be fine

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'

You love me so but it's over
Just let me go, we're going under
I feel like I'm dead but breathin'
I know because my heart is beatin'
Just let me go 'cause it's over
