Because I Love you, I'll live


Because I love you, the horizontal Cuts faded from my skin The voices that screamed, keeping me awake No longer pester my mind Because I Love You, my shaking stops Your embrace that warms me Your heart beat that calms me Makes the agitation disappear Because I love you, the pills fell Out of my hand, the demons left my soul I realized in life you fight and forgive Because I Love you, I'll live
