Another Date With Death

Memories play back inside my head
Those strolling sidewalks in the
Paris rain, falling sweetly down upon our heads....
...those loving scenes I can't describe

(And I can't)
Put down these love letters
Cluttered up with broken promises
Of the we should have had, You swore...
...you'd never leave me

But these days that you are gone
Are killing me little by little
Every day
I break apart a little more inside

(Chorus)
You said
That one day we might talk again
But these
hours that pass by me take so long
And I find less hope to breathe with
These weighted minutes are a countdown
To when truth shall finally show it's face at last
But until then
Every day without you is another day
I have a date with Death


I figured out I can't cry anymore
These wasted days have drained me dry
of everything that was inside of me
All that's left is just a shell

(And I can't)
Figure out what to do with myself
Sit here and shake, against the wall
Try and forget just how to breathe, cuz every
breath is just one more with you not here

(Chorus)
You said
That one day we might talk again
But these
hours that pass by me take so long
And I find less hope to breathe with
These weighted minutes are a countdown
To when truth shall finally show it's face at last
But until then
Every day without you is another day
I have a date with Death

(Bridge)
The darkest days are just before the sunrise
But what if
The sunrise never comes?

(Chorus)
You said
That one day we might talk again
But these
hours that pass by me take so long
And I find less hope to breathe with
These weighted minutes are a countdown
To when truth shall show it's face at last
So 'til then
Every day without you is another day
I have a date with Death
