lyrics

You're the reason that I breathe
The reason that I be
The light you bring into my eyes
Is something that you'd only dream
When I come home to your smile every night
Nothing makes me feel so light
Those are the thoughts of me in a past life
Cause you're no longer by my side

I don't wanna live without you in my care
Cause it pains me missing you, oh life ain't fair
But pain is temporary, changes they are necessary
If I just close my eyes I'll probably hide from all that's scary

I said it's not your fault
But you went ahead and proved me wrong
Now I'm barely grinning at all
And you got me writing this damn song
I longed and hoped for nothing more
Than to see you walk through my door
You left me scarred to my core
But the burden is gone

I don't wanna live without you in my care
Cause it pains me missing you, oh life ain't fair
But pain is temporary, changes they are necessary
If I just close my eyes I'll probably hide from all that's scary
But pain is temporary, changes they are necessary
If I just close my eyes I'll probably hide from all that's scary
