The Reason Why

It's inside 

A heart and soul intertwined 

Touched by the burns of your flame

Covered in scars, and boy you're to blame. 

It's my life

And it bleeds for our shattered light

And I'll take it, like you did 

The difference, this time, I'll live. 

Neither rolling waves on desert shores 

Nor light in deep caves and love worth fighting for

Can make it better now

No, the only thing I want you to know

You're the reason why 

I sleep with teardrop stains upon my pillow, every night

You're the reason why 

I try and try, but no matter what, can't win the fight

You're the reason why

I cry at old love songs 

Like they're haunted lullabies 

And yet I still believe 

Even through the grief,

That you're my reason why 

I am alive.

I'm still alive.
