Scared and alone I feel the hands reach around my neck As I turn to stone I hear a whisper in my ear You're next And my silent cries Are gently carried off on the wind Distressed inside Just want to breathe again How long can I live Where I was yesterday And what will it take To the light a fire inside of me I've stayed here way too long Knowing that I'm in the wrong Can You rescue me? Who knew it'd be like this All the chances that I've missed You were right here all along I'm a fool for hanging on Can You forgive This life that I've lived? Scared and alone I feel the hands reach around my neck As I turn to stone I hear a whisper in my ear You're next And my silent cries Are gently carried off on the wind Distressed inside Just want to breathe again Why can't I lift my eyes As the light fades away Is this how it ends? Or is the choice left up to me I've stayed here way too long And I'm tired of hanging on Can You rescue me? If I reach out my hand Will You turn and walk away? Or look in my eyes And tell me that You're here to stay Can You forgive The life that I've lived? Scared and alone I feel the hands reach around my neck As I turn to stone I hold on 'cuz You're all that I have left Can You save my life? And raise my head so I'll dare to live again I won't die tonight It's time to breathe again
