Because You Live

When Fayte comes knocking, let him in

Staring out at the rain with your heavy heart.
It's the end of the world in my mind.
Then your voice calls me back like a wake up call.

Using all my excess energy, I ran all the way to the beach and into the water, where I started to scream and kick the water. I fell to my knees and tried to stop crying because I felt like a little baby.

I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

"Hey, you OK?"

I turned my head and quickly brushed away the evidence that I was crying. "What do you want, Fayte?" I asked my voice shaking slightly.

"To talk" he said, taking my hand and pulling me up from my knees. "You look really upset."

"Well you'd be upset too if you found out that your boyfriend was cheating on you with your best friend and then dumps you." I snapped.

"Yeah, I know what happened." Fayte said.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

I groaned and buried my face in my hands. "Awe, man. Nothing is going right. What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing is wrong with you." he said and wrapped his hands around my waist. "You're an amazing, beautiful girl." he paused. "Did I just say that out loud?" he asked nervously.

"Kinda." I chuckled.

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm

Thunder rumbled.

"Let's go." Fayte said. He took my hand and we ran under a large palm tree.

"Anyway." he said, brushing some hair out of my face.

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm

"I do think you're beautiful and nice and an amazing girl." he said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Really, really." he said. I chuckled again.

What is life, what's the use if you're killing time

"You know," he put an arm around my shoulder. "You're my angel."

"I am no angel Fayte." I said.

"To me you are." he said. He leaned in and kissed my lips.

I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

At first I didn't know what to do, so I just pulled away. He looked at me confused. "I'm sorry!" I said and ran away.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

"Wait!" Fayte called to me.

I turned away. "I'm sorry. I was just scared and I didn't know what to do, and I really like you Fayte and-"

"I like you too." he said.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yeah." he said.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I still don't know what to do." I murmured.

"Just follow your heart." he said. We then kissed again and I kissed back.

Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

We pulled away.

"You know what Fayte." I said.

"What?"

"You're my reason to live." I said and we kissed again.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

You know, they say 'When fate comes knocking, let him in.

Well for me, I got the real thing.

Because you live, I live, I live
