I Didn't Say Anything

Today, I didn't speak.
I didn't speak, but I didn't have my voice.
And for someone whose lungs have collapsed before
I know what it's like to be able to breathe one second
Then not in the next
So believe me when I say that she takes my breath away.
And when I didn't speak
I didn't even think to
After I couldn't breathe, but it wasn't the same feeling
My heart was beating, but I could no longer feel... alive.
You see?
When I didn't say anything
When I wasn't breathing life into her
I wasn't breathing at all
Today, I didn't speak
I didn't speak.
I should have, so this time I want to get it right.
So even if I have to do it over
I'll do it right
No, get it right
No, no... Dang it!
No, I've got to live it right
