One Breath

when ur drunk and skating on thin ice
when ur watching a broken clock not tick or tock
when ur listening to patty griffin and bright eyes
when ur so down even hell seems a step up
when ur wishing you had someone to hold
that's when u know ur a breathe away from nothing

when ur stoned and writing pathetic lyrics
when ur only connection to the world is the internet
when ur singing to the songs that only exist in ur head
when ur so far gone u can't hear the call home
when ur wishing you'd never let him go
that's when u know ur a breathe away from nothing

when ur crying and trying to hang on
when ur hoping and praying for a sign to go on
when ur saying life is just too hard
when ur thinking all those pills can make it better
when ur wishing u had made a million different choices
that's when u know ur a breathe away from nothing

when ur husband leaves you
when ur fired from your job
when ur kid tells you your a loser
when ur own father looks at u so disappointed
when ur no longer in control
that's when u know ur a breathe away from nothing
