A Reason To Sing

No, thank you — that’s what I said Built my walls, stayed in my head I was drifting, nowhere to go Heart half-beating, moving slow You walked in like you knew my name Lit a spark, then fed the flame Didn’t push, didn’t try too hard You just saw me… through the scars And I didn’t know How much I was lost Till you found me standing in the dark You said yes to me And you changed everything Gave my broken world a reason to sing Now I breathe for you Every beat, every truth If forever’s real, I’m spending it with you And I swear somehow If love could prove time I’d hold your hand for fifty more lives And when the sky falls through… I’d still choose you You gave purpose to empty days Turned my silence into praise Every moment, every glance Feels like fate… not just chance I was numb, I was standing still You gave me something real to feel Now the future don’t scare me so As long as you don’t let me go I was fading out Like a ghost in the crowd Then your voice pulled me back to life You said yes to me And you changed everything Gave my broken world a reason to sing Now I breathe for you Every beat, every truth If forever’s real, I’m spending it with you And I swear somehow If love could prove time I’d stay right here for fifty more lives And when the sky falls through… I’d still choose you If I could write it in the stars tonight I’d carve your name in endless light And when we’re old, and hearts worn thin I’d fall for you all over again I don’t need heaven if you’re near This life’s enough with you right here You said yes to me And you made me whole Gave a wandering man a steady soul Now I live for you Every dream comes true And I’d give this life just to stand with you And if love means this Till the end of time Then I’ll love you past every finish line When my last breath moves… I’ll still choose you No, thank you… was yesterday But you turned my world your way
