Give Me A Reason

Like a bolt of lightning
Quick and harsh
I fell for you
You took hold of my heart
We loved fast and deep
Left everything behind
We were on the run
But you had something to hide
A past you wouldn't let go of
And you broke this thing I thought was love

Please, give me a reason
to keep on breathing
show me anything
that makes a morning worth it
I can't find the courage
to get out of this bed
and face the world again

Each moment with you
plays back in my mind
like some torture you designed
just to keep me up at night
The words we spoke
seem louder now
Hanging in the air
like you had only just said 'em
But it's only me wishing you were still here
So I repeat each conversation
hoping something will make sense again

please, give me a reason
to keep on breathing
show me anything
that makes a morning worth it
I can't find the courage
to get out of this bed
and face the world again

you were my only reason
my only motivation
to keep on with this life
but now you're the reason that I hide
