Breathing your love away
Count to ten and close my eyes
Open up to see the skies
Cry a tear, two or three
Shut away the memories
Discard the thoughts of anguish and pain
All these pictures, all these frames
Burn the clothes, release a scream
Throw away this two way team
Traipse inside and shut the door
Try to cope a little more
Rock away the words you gave
And all the time I tried to save
Approach the bed, redo the sheets
Place carefully the things I keep
Fall asleep another day
Breathe another love away...
