There are times when I can't breathe
And my words get stuck on repeat
I'm hyperventilating, losing sleep
This is so much bigger than me
There are times when I wake up
I know you're gone and I can't do much
I'm feeling empty but full of love
But now you're gone and I can't do
Much
Now I kiss you ashes when I pass my dresser
You're finally close
I liked you far away better
You weren't around to take my call
I wasn't there to catch your fall
I'll always feel like I could've done you better
You made your choice, well now it lasts forever
I couldn't take your pain away
I tried but I couldn't make you stay
I can't call you on the phone
So I'll sit through this alone
You could've had me as a home
I'm sorry you felt so alone
You broke my heart and you let me down
You were the one who was really let down
So I screamed on my best friends floor
I made those calls that I've never had to make before
You should've seen the shots they poured
A party you should have been there for
And your mom's words were grating on my ears
Confirming both our greatest fears
I couldn't hold her through all her tears
A memory that I'll have for years
I can't call you on the phone
So I'll sit through this alone
You could've had me as a home
I'm sorry you felt so alone
You broke my heart but I let you down
I'm so sorry that I let you down
There are times when I can't breathe
