When my tears fall like rain

And blood is flowing from my veins

Would you be afraid?

As I'm lying in the street

Waiting for the bus to drive over me

Are you there for me?

 

Because my mind is in hell

And I can't find an escape

Don't know if you can tell

But I'm here feeling like a waste

 

And now I'm hanging on the edge

But you're there holding me up

Feel like I'm better off dead

You tell me that I'm not

I say I'm not worth you're time

You tell me that's just fine

When I'm running out of light

Baby, you're the only reason I'm alive

 

I think I'm falling apart

Cause life is breaking my heart

I see you holding my heart

I scream that nothing goes right for me

Put a blade to my arm just to see myself bleed

But you're there, you are my healing

 

But my mind is in hell

And I can't find an escape

But you're there to tell me

Yeah, you tell me I'm not a waste

 

And now I'm hanging on the edge

But you're there holding me up

Feel like I'm better off dead

You tell me that I'm not

I say I'm not worth you're time

You tell me that's just fine

When I'm running out of light

Baby, you're the only reason I'm alive

 

You're the only reason I can fight

When I'm screaming

Yeah, you hear me

Only when you hold me tight

Only then do I feel right

Hold me and make everything alright

 

And now I'm hanging on the edge

But you're there holding me up

Feel like I'm better off dead

You tell me that I'm not

I say I'm not worth you're time

You tell me that's just fine

When I'm running out of light

Baby, you're the only reason I'm alive

 

And now I'm hanging on the edge

But you're there holding me up

Feel like I'm better off dead

You tell me that I'm not

I say I'm not worth you're time

You tell me that's just fine

When I'm running out of light

Baby, you're the only reason I'm alive


The author's comments:

When I decided to be a musician, I decided that I would be honest for people who are too afraid to be. I know there are people who struggle with depression and are only living for their s/o. I know that because I am one of them. When things get really hard and I can't find any other reason to keep going, I think of them and how much the time I spend with them means to me.
