If dreams were meant for sleeping
Then I'd hope to stay awake
Because by dawn
You'll be long gone
And that's more than I can take

I'd assume myself pathetic
And call this all a waste
But now I know
Letting you go
Is simply an impossible case

I'd hope to be your sweetheart
Your picture-perfect girl
I'd take a ring
Over anything
Any choice or promise of this world

But you?
You're just an alibi
And me?
I'm just a game
But I'd rather try
To live this lie
Than pretend I'm okay

Without you I'm a hunger
No nourishment can sate
Your lips could cure my every cancer
My heart your voice could save

In a second
A single second
Everything depends
