You are my heart
The steady steps I take
The air I constantly breath
You keep me from falling into insanity

You keep my heart whole when it breaks
When I fall into this empty space
I feel cold when you're not here
Even my tears freeze

The walls close in on me
All the air is striped away
But then you come and rescue me
Carrying my limp body away

Now you think, how she could survive?
Now you have a look through her eyes
She's in love, simple as can be
That's what keeps her alive
