Take away the makeup and the clothes that I wear I've got a heart that's beating softly and it's gasping for air Cause I'm alive, but I'm not living Afraid to show you all the mess I hold deep inside You've got a knack for holding back and I'm the first one to hide Cause I'm alive, but I'm not living I never thought that I would find Someone who would take my mind Off of who I used to be What I left behind You pick me up, oh my dear You save me and you make me feel Like I'm not so crazy with you I come alive with you I'll breathe you in and I'll hold you close And where you are is where I'll go with you I come alive with you I come alive with you You came and then you showed me what love should be It was strange, you captivated every part You loved me, brought me to life Now I'm living I never thought that I would find Someone who would take my mind Off of who I used to be What I left behind You pick me up, oh my dear You save me and you make me feel Like I'm not so crazy with you I come alive with you I'll breathe you in and I'll hold you close And where you are is where I'll go with you I come alive with you I come alive with you You picked me up, oh my dear You save me and you make me feel Like I'm not so crazy with you I come alive with you I'll breathe you in and I'll hold you close And where you are is where I'll go with you I come alive with you I come alive with you you
