I leave the gas on. Walk the alleys in the dark. Sleep with candles burning. I leave the door unlocked. I'm weaving a rope and. Running all the red lights. Did I get your attention. Cause I'm sending. All the signs and. The clock is ticking. And I'll be giving. My 2 weeks. Pick your favorite. Shade of black. You'd best. Prepare a speech. Say something funny. Say something sweet. But don't say. That you loved me. Chorus:. I'm still breathing. But we've been. Dead for a while. This sickness has no cure. We're goin down for sure. Already lost a grip. Best abandon ship. Maybe I was too pale. Maybe I was too fat. Maybe you had better. Better luck in the sack. No formal education. and I swore way too much. But I swear. You didn't care. Cause we were in love. So as I write this letter. And shed my last tear. No it's all for the better. That we end this this year. Let's close this chapter. Say one last prayer. But don't say. That you loved me. Chorus:. I'm still breathing. But we've been dead for a while. This sickness has no cure. We're going down for sure. And we've beeen diagnosted. So let's give up the ghost. 'Cause I'm still breathing. But we've been dead for a while. This sickness has no cure. We're going down for sure. Already lost the grip. Best abandon ship. I'm still breathing. I'm still breathing
