I don't want to go on, what's worse is I've got to
I just can't live without you but I'm still alive
A broken man, it's all that you're seeing
But my heart just keeps on beating, I wish it would stop.
Mama didn't raise no quitter
And I wanna make my daddy proud
But somehow I just keep on
Breathing when you are around

But I don't know how
I thought it was you, who'd love me too
'Cause I thought we something we can hold on to
You're still in my heart, maybe that's why it's beating
But I wish you would be leaving 'cause it's tearing me up
But mama didn't raise no quitter
And I wanna make my daddy proud

But somehow I just keep on
Breathing when you are around
Mama didn't raise no quitter
And I wanna make my daddy proud
But somehow I just keep on
Breathing when you are around
But I don't know how
