First Breath, Last Breath Lyrics

I watched you bleed out
I watched your lungs cave
I saw the worst thing that I've ever seen
As I watched you slip away from me
And out daughter's first breath
Is the last one you will ever take
And I don't think I can make it on my own
Remember, they said you'd have to sacrifice, I know
But I was not prepared to watch the life drain from your soul
I've never felt so crushed
This sand is buried in my bones
How the hell am I supposed to raise a daughter on my own?

I turn to stone when I look in your eyes
(I turn to stone)
I lost the only reason that I'm alive
(That I'm alive)
I don't know if any words will do
All I know is that I'm so in love with you

There was nothing that they could do
After three days of labour it's a miracle that anyone survived
I'm alive, but I'm dead inside
And I'm supposed to raise a child with a smile now
I used to wonder why people put bullets in their brains
Now it seems like the only way to stop this pain
How the fuck am I supposed to wake up every day
And pretend that I love her as much as I love your face?

I turn to stone when I look in your eyes
(I turn to stone)
I lost the only reason that I'm alive
(That I'm alive)
I don't know if any words will do
All I know is that I'm so in love with you

I watched you bleed out
I watched your lungs cave
I watched you slip away from me
And I don't think that I'll ever be okay

Senses Fail are a post-hardcore/alternative rock band formed in New Jersey in 2002. The band's original lineup consisted of James "Buddy" Nielsen, Dan Trapp, Dave Miller, Garrett Zablocki, and Mike Glita. The band released their debut EP From the Depths of Dreams with a limited 300 copy run on August 13, 2002, through ECA Records. It was then reissued through their new label Drive-Thru Records on April 29, 2003 with two bonus tracks, "Handguns and Second Chances" and "The Ground Folds (acoustic)." Two years later their debut album Let It Enfold You was released, on September 7, 2004, through Vagrant. This album had two popular singles, Buried a Lie and Rum Is for Drinking, Not for Burning - music videos were recorded for both songs.

In 2005 guitarist Dave Miller left the band and was replaced by Heath Saraceno, formerly of Midtown. The band's second full-length album, Still Searching, was released in 2006. They joined Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos in support of the album. Mike Glita then left the band the following year and Jason Black, also a member of Hot Water Music, joined initially as a temporary replacement but ended up remaining in the band. Their third album, Life Is Not a Waiting Room, was released in 2008. Heath Saraceno then left the band after their appearance at the 2009 Warped Tour and was replaced by Zack Roach, also guitarist of post-rock band Spirit of the Stairs.

Senses Fail's fourth album The Fire was released October 25, 2010 through UK label Hassle Records and elsewhere through Vagrant the following day. In February 2011, Garrett Zablocki left the band to attend college and was replaced by Matt Smith, also guitarist for Strike Anywhere. Read more on Last.fm.
