Lifeline Lyrics

I feel the knife at my throat
And it cuts and it burns
Have you no mercy
You laugh as I twist and I turn
Crushing the air in my chest
Till there is no air to breathe
Pray there's a way to escape
But the joke is on me

Show me some hope
Show me some light
'Cause I got nothing left in my tonight
If I don't go
If I say no
Is it the end?
Somebody tell me
Have I just wasted a lifetime?
Show me some hope
God it's so cold
Throw me a Lifeline
It's so cold
It's so cold
Throw me a lifeline

All too familiar
So why are we back here again?
Tell me you know how it feels to be killing a friend
Screaming in silence
There's no way of saving myself
If there's no redemption
I'll see you in Hell

Show me some hope
Show me some light
'Cause I got nothing left in my tonight
If I don't go
If I say no
Is it the end?
Somebody tell me
Have I just wasted a lifetime?
Show me some hope
God it's so cold
Throw me a lifeline
It's so cold
It's so cold
Throw me a lifeline

Throw me a lifeline
Now you gone and done

If I don't go
If I say no
Is it the end?
Somebody tell me
Have I just wasted a lifetime?
Show me some hope
God it's so cold
Throw me a lifeline
It's so cold
It's so cold
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline
A lifeline
A lifeline

Lifeline

This song was written by one of Anastacia's producers Jamie Hartman along with Phil Bentley and Shelly Peiken. Anastacia first heard it the day she wrote "Pendulum" and told Hartman she wanted to record the tune as she identified with the lyrics after battling breast cancer. However, the singer was told it was being held for The Hunger Games.

"The Hunger Games didn't take it; so almost at the end of writing this album he asked me if I was still interested," Anastacia told Digital Spy . "There are songs I hear that I wish were mine like 'Crazy' by Cee Lo. I feel like that was so my song! 'Lifeline' was the right song for me."

"Jamie wasn't sure if he needed to change a few of the lines that were inappropriate, because it was written about killing a friend. I said 'No, because I'm singing this song to cancer,'" she continued. "To be honest, cancer made me kill a part of myself. He didn't even think about it like that."
