WITHOUT YOU I’M STILL ALIVE

It’s not my lonely soul that bothers me

Nor my breaking heart, 
nor the reasons for my sadness,

In fact
I am not worried about my lonely self.

I just am wondering, 
why you chose to keep me, 
on a shelf.

I can live without seeing you 
every day,

At night, I can survive, 
without you tenderness.

In fact, I can be content 
here on my own,

I just can't understand, 
why you want to be alone.

I can get by without hearing 
your tender voice,

You don't have to speak to me 
every single day,

I can listen to the birds 
outside instead,

I just can't seem to get you 
out of my head.

I don't need you to get though, 
every passing hour

Nor do I sit here, 
and watch this life pass me by,

I really don't want you
 to help me survive,

It's just without you
I find it hard to feel alive.

You don't have to hang around 
just to please me,

I'll just carry on with my life 
as I did before,

And I can find happiness 
somewhere else that's true,

But right now I find it 
difficult to be without you.
