One Second Left to Live (1/7/11 w)

You’ve got your hand on the trigger

Like you don’t know you always do

Trying hard not to care

To convince myself, convince myself

It doesn’t matter if you, if you’re not there

The bomb is about to detonate

One second left to live

As the timer runs out

Diminishing the dreams

The dream i saw, i saw in you

But now it’s too late

Don’t know how i can go on

Tomorrow may come, may come

But i know somehow, somehow

It’s all wrong

One second left to change your, change your mind

But that is too late

I call and hear no reply

The silence shattered by the slamming, the slamming door

Hoping that you’d turn around

And come back with your arms wide open

But that relief never, never comes

I thought you were, you were the one

Now here i sit listening to the faded voices in my mind

Looking at your face

Turning angel to demon before my eyes

I said i could live without you

But i knew, i knew you knew it wasn’t true

It wasn’t true

Now i forgot how to breathe

I don’t see a reason to, a reason to go on

Fate has been running down

Running down since you said goodbye

But i know i have to try

But i know i only had one second left to live

I’m alive

But inside, inside i’ve died

One second left to live

Don’t know how to begin, begin again

So i’m giving fate one second to set it straight

One second left to live, one second left to live
