Took a chance on a turnaround
Yeah, I was trippin' on verses
I didn't know, I didn't know it
And all these words we've said before
They were like falling ashes
I couldn't control, I couldn't control it
And now I'm letting go
Of everything I've known
Take my life and bring me back again
I'll find a reason to breathe again
But if only I would have shown it
I'll find a reason to breathe again
So many times I would turn and run
I never finished what I started
I couldn't see, I couldn't see it
You took a chance on this runaway
When it was all or nothing
You'll never leave, you'll never leave me
And now I'm letting go
Of everything I've known
Take my life and bring me back again
I'll find a reason to breathe again
But if only I would have shown it
I'll find
When I fall I fade away
I will fall with everything
I will feel a way
Take my life and bring me back again
I'll find a reason to breathe again
If I didn't know it
I would have shown it
I'll find a reason to breathe again
I'll find a reason to breathe again
I'll find a reason to breathe again
Breathin', I'm breathin'
I found a reason to breathe again
I'm breathin', I'm breathin'
Oh, I found a reason to breathe again
Oh, I found a reason to breathe again
Oh, I found a reason to breathe again
