To Be Alive
You would break me
If you took it away
All away from me
You would kill something
In me
If you left me now
Now that I know
How it is
Like this
To feel so close to someone else
Undoing with one kiss
No longer alone
You can take everything
But don't take back
Those words you said
The words
Spinning in my head
Don't leave me
Now that I know
You can leave
But promise me
You'll take me
When you go
And tell me
The truth
Does it hurt you
To look inside
And see all the damage
Is it too much
Am I too much
Because you're enough
To undo
All the ugly
Before you
So if you must go
Take me
Because I never want to know
What it's like
To miss you
Lie here with me
Tell me
You need me
I've never been here before
You've unlocked a door
I never knew
Existed
Until you
And now
That I need you
You can't just leave me
You can't take it back
All those words
Every kiss
And touch
If I'm too much
Or not enough
You can't just leave
Now that I know
How it feels
To be alive
