Keep me breathing

A summer spent, private hide away
A golden time wrapped in negligee
Backyard display of love in a world of our own
A gentle breeze was your clement caress
Every time I needed you, you were there
That month ran away in days you helped me grow
Now let me tell you what I've always known

That look in your eye is a gentle smile
(I hear you breathing)
God we gotta try see the sun tonight
(I feel you breathing)
You are my best friend honey
And I'm frightened of the end
You're all that I've got to keep me breathing

A stolen kiss in a drive way scene
A Capulet kinda tragedy
Montague had to die for the family pride
And I don't know why
I'm sick and tired of mendacity
All that I had is now a fantasy
Your memory of me is now just a faint cologne
Now let me tell you what I've always known

That look in your eye is a tender smile
(I hear you breathing)
We said our goodbyes now we're dead inside
(I feel you breathing)
You were my best friend darling
Now my life is at an end
You're all that I had to keep me breathing

Seizure of mind commanding my standards
It makes me cry
A one sided cowards game why
Thought I had the shoulders to carry us over
But because of love I know I'm crucified

That look in your eye is a tender smile
(I hear you breathing)
God we gotta try see the sun tonight
(I feel you breathing)
You were my best friend honey
And I'm frightened of the end
You're all that I had to keep me breathing
