6 feet ain't so far down

Creed - One Last Breath

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Chorus

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out 'Heaven save me'
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Chorus (Repeat Twice)

I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking...

Chorus (Repeat Twice)

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe


I wish you cared to come hold me. I wish I didn't feel the need for you to hold me but I do. I'm surrounded by the same past as you. I'm not thinking of the bad times but I'm looking at the good times. So many smiles made between you and I. This hurts. I'd cry out if I thought you would hear. Maybe 6 feet ain't so far. I am not going to step into the shallow 6 feet. I may not have you holding me but I do feel too heavy to move. I'm heavy with guilt over how I've made you and the children feel. I can't do it again with them waiting for me. 6 feet ain't so far down, but I can't let them see that. I want you to hold me, but they need me to hold them. I'm down to one last breath. I want to whisper your name. My lips part to let out your name and I hear my name. I hear them calling to me. I'm stuck looking down with your name on my lips and I can feel their arms wrapping around me. Stay Daddy. please.
