One Last Breath
Maria-Elena Kyriakou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You killed me and I'm done, without a gun
My love will fade, I feel betrayed
Just can't be brave without faith
How could you, love?
I'm begging you, take me wherever you have gone
Come back and save me, don't want to be alone
I'm begging you, take me out of this fiery hell
Come back and save me, what happened wasn't fair
Nothing left, all that I have is one last breath
Only one last breath
Just pain, fake love, a drunken lie
I struggle to survive, I'm still alive
I'm fighting tears and fears apart
But still it's stuck inside my heart…
I'm begging you, take me out of this fiery hell
Come back and save me, what happened wasn't fair
Nothing left, all that I have is one last breath
Only one last breath
I'm begging you, take me wherever you have gone
I'm begging you, take me, don't wanna be alone
All that I have is one last breath
One last breath

Wow....I'm gay too and I tend to get nervous when people tell me to visit Greece because I've heard that there is limited tolerance when it comes to us.But I might be wrong.
Heck we Americans are always blamed for the world's problems when we try to help AND when we don't.So we are more similar than you think we are :D
Don't fret hey we helped you guys in the Marshall Plan right?
Maybe we can do it again.I know your country has gotten through worse.You are a strong people with a lot to give to this world.
Much love and respect to you.
And I have to admit....there's a lot of craziness in America....but that's why it never gets boring here.
Glad I put a smile on your face.Have a great day at work!

Why hasn’t Greece 🇬🇷 won more than once in Eurovision. Their songs were awesome than than the years winners
For example
2001
2021
2011
2022
And especially this one (2015)
And just FYI Greece is one my most favourite countries in Eurovision 🇦🇺❤🇬🇷
@GeorgeAustinTay
She deservedly qualified. She destroyed everyone else with those vocals.
@LoveLiyah849
I actually agree , tbh the majority of the other contestants vocals were poor :/
@valkon_
George Austin Tay Funny ,that's the only reason that she won greek final, the others were more than lame.
@elenmousmous4553
George Austin Tay She has one OF the most beutiful voices in eurovision ever!!!!!!Huge voice
@GeorgeAustinTay
Eleni Moustaka I bought her album "Dyo aggeli sti gi" while I was in Athens and I'm slayed by each song. She easily has the best voice in this year's Eurovision :)
