My Last Breath - Lyrics

Some people let go
Some people let love slip away, yeah
But I'm gonna hold on
When no one believes, I'll keep the faith

And I know that we're in trouble
But I swear that we'll survive

If we were deep-sea divers
And no one came to find us
If you had nothing left
I'd give you my last breath (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
I'd give you my last breath (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

We all need a lifeline
Someone to call when we're alone, hmm, yeah
It's all good in the good times
But I'll still be there when it all goes wrong
Yes, I will

If we were deep-sea divers
And no one came to find us
If you had nothing left
I'd give you my last breath (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
I'd give you my last breath (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

And I know that we're in trouble
But I swear that we'll survive

If we were deep-sea divers
And no one came to find us
If you had nothing left
I'd give you my last breath (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
I'd give you my last breath (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
I'd give you my last breath
