You tell me that you’re hopeless,

You want your life less than death,

But if you jumped into a pool right now,

I know you’ll hold your breath,

So i know that it’s not hopeless,

But that your hope is just hard to find,

And if I showed you all you can become,

I know you’ll change your mind,

You might have hit rock bottom,

But it’s the perfect time to restart,

Where the only thing that you can hear,

Is the beating of your heart,

You’ve to almost lose it,

To remember what you had,

And there’s been a share of good time,

Mixed in between the bad,

So don’t wait for the ending,

Until your last breath starts to leave,

Before you finally remember,

How much you like to breathe
