[Verse 1] I wouldn't compliment myself for what I've become Tell her I owe it to her Tell her I owe it to her I wouldn't praise myself for every good thing I've done Tell her I owe it to her Tell her I owe it to her
[Pre-Chorus 1] Tell her I owe it to every heartbeat Tell her I owe it to every exhale Tell her I owe it to, owe it to her Hands upon my chest
[Chorus] Oh, won't you breathe life into these dead lungs I keep under my coat And keep life warm against the cold night as our bodies grow old
[Verse 2] I know when to give up and I know when to breathe Believe me, I owe it to her Tell her I owe it to her
[Pre-Chorus 2] Tell her I owe it to every heartbeat Tell her I owe it to every inhale Tell her I owe it to, owe it to her Hands upon my chest
[Chorus] Oh, won't you breathe life into these dead lungs I keep under my coat And keep life warm against the cold night as our bodies grow old Oh, won't you breathe life into these dead lungs I keep under my coat And keep life warm against the cold night as our bodies grow old
[Bridge] Take my silence as a warning I will not deter your mourning
[Chorus] Oh, won't you breathe life into these dead lungs I keep under my coat And keep life warm against the cold night as our bodies grow old Oh, won't you breathe life into these dead lungs I keep under my coat And keep life warm against the cold night as our bodies grow old
