Alive

Their voices echo through lonely spaces deep inside. One by one I've watched them turn and walk away. I thought I couldn't breathe, had to find somewhere to hide, started seeing the sunshine decay. Cocooned in cobwebs I thought I'd never escape, I hated myself so, so much. The words couldn't cleanse the dirt from within, I was nothing, so numb 'til I felt your touch. I am paralysed, lying here, wrapped in your arms. I can see your heart in your eyes. Every whisper is another chain link, we'll never be apart. Baby, you know it's 'cause of you I'm alive.
