I don't have a reason to cry And I have every reason to smile And I don't have a reason to lie When you’re already reading my mind And I don’t have a reason to be, if I can’t be with you And I don't need air in my lungs, if I can’t sing your song No, I don’t need hands if I don’t get to keep you warm And I don’t really need myself, if I don't need you 'Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you I open my eyes so I could see with you And I live so I can die with you And I don’t really need these fingers, if I don’t get to touch your spine Well I don’t need these legs, if I ain’t walking by your side And I don’t really need to be if I can’t be with you 'Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you I open my eyes so I could see with you And I live so I can die with you 'Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you I open my eyes so I can see with you And I live so I can, I live so I can I live so I can Die with you
