  • Would it kill you to breathe easy?
    Only seventeen miles lay between you and me
    I could make it if I had to
    I don't break easily
    You've got my counsel, thick as thieves
    If there's a crime we'll keep it secret
    For there's only trace amounts left in your blood
    You may be a sinner
    But you may be justified

    Just keep your mouth shut
    Keep your guard up
    I swear I'll make it right

    Will it kill me to breathe?
    Not as easy as you think it is between you and me
    I could fake it if I have to
    I don't break easily
    I need your counsel, thick as thieves
    I have no crime to keep a secret
    It was hers, it was not mine
    Well I may be a sinner
    But it wasn't me this time

    Just keep your mouth shut
    Keep your guard up
    I swear I'll make it right

    Listen to yourself
    There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
    It won't stop bleeding
    Well you may be the trigger
    I will hold the smoking gun
    You'll get away clean
    I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me
    And I will never tell a tortured soul they are burning by my side
    That I am a sinner
    I am a savior
    I am a lie

    So keep your mouth shut
    Keep your guard up
    I swear I'll make it right Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER ANDREW CARRABBA
