Common Breath

You tore apart my world
You left me standing alone
With empty arms outstretched
Waiting for yours to unfurl

And when I'm by myself
I think about the past

And when I look out the window
My mind drifts back to

The summer of 1989
When we shared a common breath
And I gave until there was nothing left
And then you drove me from out of your mind

Help is the call of the disenchanted
You led me down the road to despair
You never asked how I felt
Nor did you wonder why
I made mistakes or took my chances
I took my chances

I cared for you like no other
With feelings kept within me
Until they burst through
Like a gas if volatility

Then escaping all together
Borne upon a current of air
Like a balloon let go to the winds forever
They disappeared from out of my life

Even now I can help but wonder
If it was only a dream
Like the thousands of others
Because the details of that night
Grew vague with time
Did my memory have to compensate
By conjuring up false visions

Well I think I waited long enough to know
That you won't give it up
I'll go but I'll keep on living
I'll go but I'll keep on living

Yes I'll go but I'll keep on living
