lyrics

Well, I don't know why I lie,
saying that I want to die--
What I mean is,
"I want so much to live."
Thought I could do it by now,
thought I'd figure out how,
but it's hard when you confuse life
with death.
I can't catch my breath,
that ain't living, baby,
and I want so much.
The thing I said I want
is what I fear already is--what I mean is,
I want so much to live.

All the time I spend adrift
waiting for the tide to shift--
what I need is
a foot on solid ground.
Thought I could wait out the storm
until my boat drifts ashore
but I'm feeling like
I've already drowned.
I can't hold my breath,
that ain't living, baby,
and I want so much
The thing I said I want
is what I fear already is,
what I mean is,
I want so much to live.

I won't hold my breath

But I'll tell you what I'll do:
gonna have a drink or two,
hope it get's better--
I want so much to live.
I'm dying to live,
yes I'm dying to live.

But I won't hold my breath.

Chorus
