Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Starin' out at the rain
With a heavy heart
It's the end of the world
In my mind
Then your voice
Pulls me back
Like a wake-up call
I've been lookin' for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see
That it was right there
But now I know
What I didn't know
[Verse 2]
Because you live
And breathe
Because you make me believe
In myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world
Has twice as many stars in the sky
[Verse 3]
It's alright, I survived
I'm alive again
'Cause of you
Made it through
Every storm
What is life?
What's the use
If you're killing time?
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly
Lookin' in your eyes
[Verse 4]
Because you live
And breathe
Because you make me believe
In myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
(You live)
My world
(My world)
Has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live
I live
[Verse 5]
Because you live
There's a reason why
I carry on
When I lose the fight
I want to give
What you've given me
Always
[Verse 6]
Because you live
And breathe
Because you make me believe
In myself
When nobody else can help
(When no one else can help)
Because you live, girl
My world
(My world)
Has twice as many stars in the sky
[Verse 7]
Because you live
And breathe
Because you make me believe
In myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
('Cause you live)
My world
Has everything I need to survive
[Verse 8]
Because you live
I live
I live
