Here’s my chance to fall in line
Another offer I’ll decline
And I know your option made more sense than mine
I’m not saying that you’ll be on the list of names that I must prove wrong
Cos I’ve got half a mind saying you’re right
And I’m letting my heart decide
Cos it’s all I’m breathing for
And you’ve got life ready and waiting for you
And I am sure in time I’ll realise you were right
But I’d rather not succeed than not try
So I’m trying now, and I’ll see this out
It’s my weakness to stay strong
And I appreciate why you’re moving on
But it’s the only chance I’ll get to belong
So even when another year has come and gone
As you walk the path that I should be on
If I’m sinking with this ship instead
I won’t start holding my breath
Cos we’re a long time dead…
And it’s all I’m breathing for
You’ve got life ready and waiting for you
And I am sure in time I’ll realise you were right
But I’d rather not succeed than not try
And if I fail, if I’m wrong it’s alright
I wouldn’t take it back
And if all is lost, I tried, and I can live with that
So don’t say I’m wasting my time
Cos it’s all I’m breathing for
And you’ve got life ready and waiting for you
And I am sure in time I’ll realise you were right
But I’d rather not succeed than not try
So I’m trying now…
