Can't live without my Love

Can't live without my Love

Let me be empty if I can't be with you
Let me know only lies if I can't know your truth
Let me be blind if I can't look through your eyes
Let me lay underground if you can't lift me high
Take my legs if your side is not where I stand
Take my heart if it can't lay in your hands
Take my fingers if they can't run through your hair
And take my emotion if I can't feel you there
If my thoughts can't be of you then take my mind
Take the sun if I can't see you shine
Let me taste nothing if I can't taste your lips
Take my mouth if I can't feel your kiss
Take the stars, and take the moon
Take my hopes and dreams, if reality's not you
If I can't even whisper then take my words
Take the dawn and it's sounds and birds
Take my soul before it grows jaded
Take my memory before I come to hate it
Leave behind the secrets that both of us knew
Everything is gone, because everything was you
