I'm Still Breathing -- Katy Perry

So as I write this letter
And shed my last tear
It's all for the better
That we end this year

Let's close this chapter
Say one last prayer
But don't say that you loved me

I'm still breathing
Though we've been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already been diagnosed
So let's give up the ghost
