Without You (Leaving It Broken)
Music: C. Simmons
Lyrics: S. David

VERSE I
I'm falling without you.
I'm dying without you.
I'm crying without you.
I'm never gonna get back up again ever at all

What am I without you?
What's living without you?
What's ocean without blue?
How could the sky live smothered with pain? Wouldn’t it fall?

PRECHORUS
I built my life and dreams to follow all the moves that you make until the end
A universe for you to irradiate with grace and leave the stars to pretend

CHORUS
If I lose you I will never be me.
If you go I will have to follow.
I would swim the ocean's end and hold my breath the last second
Grow gills and keep swimming on
If it takes my life, I’ll die today
If it takes my pride, I will obey
We hold the pieces of the perfect love, so let them touch
Instead of leaving it broken

VERSE II
I tried to forget you,
And vowed to negate you;
If ever I met you,
Pretend that I don't even know you anymore

And so has my life been
Breathing, just to breathe,
And living out of courtesy
No purpose, reason or a meaning to me. So what’s it all for?

PRECHORUS
Though all my friends, they tell me, “Try to move on,” its a hopeless cause
Cause here I go again calling out your name in vain, like prayer to a rose

~ CHORUS ~

BRIDGE
If you need me
I will rise
I will run
My love is real
It won't bend
Till I break

~ CHORUS ~

CHORUS II
If you say yes, swear you’ll never leave me
No matter what, I will always love you
I would run the ends of earth, jump the edge, fall forever
Hit the ground running to you
If it takes my love, it’s yours tonight
If it takes my soul, I’ll sacrifice
My heart is broken shards, build it like a house of cards instead leaving it broken
