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
