Immortalize

I breathe in, but I won't breathe out.
This is it. No going back.
I breathe in, but I can't let it out.
This is it, this is my last.

Immortalize me in this very moment, God!
Life gets no better than this for me,
Immortalize my body, I beg you, God!
Life is all but over, as you can see.

It hurts to say I'll never see Paris or Rome,
I'll never enjoy the feel of her soft lips to mine,
It hurts to say I'll never go back home,
I'll never hear her wish me Happy Valentine's...

But really would I have anyway?
These things were unattainable to begin with!
But do you yet think I should live another day?
These thoughts are killing me, God! End this!

Immortalize me
For eternity
So they can now see
Who I used to be.
