Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been sleeping with the lights on
'Cause the darkness is surrounding you
This is my world, this is my choice
And you're the drug that gets me through
[Verse 2]
I've been waiting for an answer
Because I built this bed for two
I'm just hanging on your answer
I built this bed for me and you
[Verse 3]
Can't you see that I am yours?
So will you be my life support?
You're my life support
You're my life support
[Verse 4]
Sick of waking up in darkness
When the sky is always painted blue
There's a method to my madness
It's clear that you don't have a clue
[Verse 5]
I've been waiting for an answer
Because I built this bed for two
I'm just hanging on your answer
I built this bed for me and you
[Verse 6]
Can't you see that I am yours?
So will you be my life support?
[Verse 7]
You're my life support
You're my life support
You're my life support
You're my life support
[Verse 8]
Can't you see that I am yours?
So will you be my life support?
I've been sleeping with the lights on
'Cause the darkness is surrounding you
