[Verse 1]
I’ve watched good folks fade away — from a pill, from a bottle, or cancer’s blaze,
Guess God don’t promise tomorrow, that’s the hardest truth I’ve faced.
How do you mourn when your heart’s been scorched?
One heartbeat here, next one you’re gone — my childhood friend, you were wronged.
Taken long before your time, now your memory just keeps rewinding on.
[Bridge]
It’s easy to hate, but love takes faith,
We tried to save you, but we showed up late.
And the darkness pulled you under ‘fore we could lift you up —
From a bottle of whiskey to a bottle of pills,
Now all this pain’s bottled in — man, it’s too damn real.
[Chorus]
So I live like it’s my last breath,
Every sunrise feels like a test.
I’ll laugh for the both of us,
And cry when I must.
You’re gone, but God keeps your spirit alive,
In every beat and every midnight sky.
I’ll live like it’s my last breath —
For you, my friend, until my last step.
[Verse 2]
Being a man with feelings don’t make you weak,
But this world steals good friends from these cold, hard streets.
Tryna be cool, tryna act tough,
Tryna impress folks who never gave a damn about us.
Now you’re gone — and the system’s raising your kids,
Bet you never thought of that in the moment you flipped
‘Cause somebody scuffed up your kicks.
[Bridge]
It cuts so deep when the ones meant to protect
Take your life and leave the wreck.
Now I can’t feel safe without you near,
So I call your name through every tear.
And I pray to God you hear.
[Chorus]
So I live like it’s my last breath,
Every heartbeat could be my test.
I’ll laugh for the both of us,
And love when I must.
Didn’t know how bright your soul really shined till it was gone,
Now I’m reaching toward Heaven screaming, “Lord, I was wrong.”
I’ll live like it’s my last breath —
For you, my friend, until my last step.
[verse 3)
That fight we had — hell, it never should’ve happened,
Now those words haunt me like a shadow on my casket.
I miss your smile — haven’t laughed in a while,
But I feel you walk beside me every mile.
Got an army of angels lookin’ down from above,
And God, I don’t need more — just bless the rest with love.
[Bridge]
If you don’t like your reflection, change it.
Take that mask off — life don’t pause, we’re all aging.
Even though you’re gone, your story lives on,
And in my chest, your voice stays strong.
Dedicated to you — my brother, my guide,
Your words are still the light in my life.
Yeah… I’ll breathe like it’s my last breath tonight.
[Chorus]
So I live like it’s my last breath,
Every sunrise feels like a test.
I’ll laugh for the both of us,
And cry when I must.
You’re gone, but God keeps your spirit alive,
In every beat and every midnight sky.
I’ll live like it’s my last breath —
For you, my friend, until my last step.
I’m on my knees begging, “Lord, set us free.
Don’t make more angels — just heal the ones left here,
Turn their hate into peace and their pain into love.”
[outro)
So I live like it’s my last breath,
Every sun could be my death
