Still Breathing (But I’m Gone)

I see them cry but they can’t see me I'm screaming loud but silently The world moves on, the lights stay bright But I’m a shadow lost in night

The mirror shows no face at all I reach, I run — but always fall I knock, I beg, I call their name (Hey, Hey) But nothing ever feels the same

They say I'm gone (What?) They say I’ve left But I still feel this beating chest I'm not ready, can't be true How can life go on without you? (How? Tell me)

I'm still breathing, in my head Can't accept that I am dead Caught between the now and then Trying to go home again I'm a ghost stuck in my skin (Ghost?) Screaming for what might have been Heaven calls, but I’m not done I can’t believe that I’m the gone one (No, not now)

My bed is made, my shoes still wait The sunrise comes, but it’s too late I see my mother’s silent stare I want to hold her — I'm right there (Mom)

(Oooohh-ooh-Woah I'm a ghost)

Photos freeze what I can’t fix My name carved in cold cement bricks But I’m not dust, I’m not a dream Why can’t they hear me when I vc scream?

They light the candles Say goodbye But I still wander, still ask “why?” I was just a breath ago Now I’m the pain they never show

I'm still breathing, in my head Can't accept that I am dead (I am not going) Caught between the now and then Trying to go home again I'm a ghost stuck in my skin Screaming for what might have been Heaven calls, but I’m not done I can’t believe that I’m the gone one

Maybe the end was too soon for me Maybe I wasn’t ready to be free But if love is stronger than the grave Please, someone show me how to stay (Please, Please)

I'm still breathing, but it's cold Living stories never told Trapped inside a fading light Begging just to feel the night One more hug, one more song Tell them that I wasn't strong I died — but my soul holds on I can’t believe that I’m the gone one (I'm still here)

Gone one… But I still breathe…

Ooooohhh-Ooooohhhhh-Wwwoooahhhhh Yeeeeaaahh I Diiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeed

I died, but I don't want to go anymore
