Verse 1
You fought a long
long losing war
You've seen a
time of better days
Yeah but through it
all you stood up tall
You never cowered in fear
You'd always ante up
when times were tough
You never gave up on me
Refrain 1
In this wicked game
of life and death
I would play my
hand if I could
Chorus 1
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
----
I'd breathe for you
Verse 2
You've seen it all
it's all come and gone
Through the smiles
and bitter tears
Through all the endless
nights you'd stay
up fighting
Just to make it
until dawn
Another round of
shots a bigger pot
Lies on the table waiting
Refrain 2
In this wicked game
of life and death
Let's throw down
our hands in glory
Chorus 2
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
Bridge
Ain't it funny
how life passes
in the blink of
innocent young eyes
So many names
and faces change
while others just
lay back in disguise
Yeah I hope you
never thought that
I was just another rotten
fair-weather friend
Let's try to make
up for lost time
let's make this last
until the end
Until the end
Until the end
Chorus 3
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
I'd breathe for you
------(hold)
I'd breathe for you
