lyrics

You said you saw a doctor, it turns out that was a lie
Then I caught you smoking outside of the bar one night.

You thought you were living, but you were dying one breath at a time.
You thought I'd forgiven, but we didn't have that much time.

Saw you off that morning, just like any other time.
Then I got to thinking that maybe something's not right.
So, I called everyone I knew, said, "Have you seen my man?"
Then I hopped in my car to prove that I'm not insane.

You thought you were living, but you were dying one breath at a time.
You thought I'd forgiven, but we didn't have that much time.

I saw your ghost later on that day,
I'd never been so close to death -
I'm dying but I've got to stay.

You thought you were living, but you were dying one breath at a time.
You thought I'd forgiven, but we didn't have that much time
