The beating of your heart

I hear the whispers of those who doubt
but i do not believe
i want to be able to love again
my feelings i will retrieve

the sun disappears
when i am alone
a feeling that’s not new to me
it’s something i’ve always known

existence is nothing
if i exist without you
every night i wish
you felt just as i do

locked in a box,
my feelings cannot breathe
please reach inside me
and make all my sadness leave

now i give to you
what you gave to me
a life filled with love
you’ve opened my eyes, you see

rejected, neglected, feeling depressed
all of this is gone
cause when you’re at my side
i simply can do no wrong

today i am alive
today i am set free
you say our love’s eternal
you’ll always be with me

i hold you to this promise
i hope you keep it true
cause if you ever leave me
my sadness will be reborn anew…

the beating of your heart is what keeps me alive
