It's so cold when you're alone,
Emptiness echoes the warmth that has flown,
And I feel as though I've lost my head,
Though I'm lying here in this bed,
Weighted down by memories-
Of a love that I had,
And it wasn't so bad-
So why did the pieces had to fall apart,
Leaving me with a sad and broken heart?
~
I just want to live,
Why do you want to bring me down?
I try so hard to swim,
But I feel like I might drown.
You're always so blue,
Have you heard the news?
It's calling for a thunderstorm-
Because I'm gonna' rage, I'm gonna' pour,
As I got my back against the door,
Cause I just wanna' live,
I try so hard to swim,
But I feel like I might drown-
Why do you want to bring me down?
~
I can feel the ache as the leaves were blown,
A stillness that had settled in my bones,
The hollowness that you left,
My heart has committed theft,
Weighted down by memories-
Of a love that I had-
But how I wish I could be glad,
Instead my world came apart,
Leaving everything bitter and tart
-
I can still recall that smile within your eyes,
And I know it wasn't all just empty lies,
You gave me a taste of love,
Tasting sweet as a sunrise,
But now you left me feeling empty,
Is it such a surprise?
~
I just want to live,
Why do you want to bring me down?
I try so hard to swim,
To bring up this frown,
You're always so blue,
Have you heard the news?
It's calling for a thunderstorm-
Because I'm gonna' rage, I'm gonna' pour,
As I got my back against the door,
Cause I just wanna' live,
I try so hard to swim,
But I feel like I might drown-
Why do you want to bring me down?
~
I just want to live,
Why do you want to bring me down?
You're always so blue,
Have you heard the news?
It's calling for a thunderstorm-
Because I'm gonna' rage, I'm gonna' pour,
I'm gonna' break through this door,
I try so hard to swim,
To bring up this frown,
Cause I just wanna' live,
But I feel like I might drown-
When my world came apart,
Leaving everything— bitter and tart
