Intro

Verse 1

I know it's me who always leaves you stranded.

We are always apart.

I know you hate this but please don't end it.

There must be a way.

I wish I could stay.

When I met you I was barely living.

I was lost in the dark.

But with the love that you've been giving.

I'm back from the dead.

With you in my head.

Chorus

Because when I look in your eyes I know you understand.

That good things always seem to slip right through my hands.

And everything but love is just grains of sand.

But with you this is my life.

Here with you this is my life.

This is my life.

All day long I'm ok, while I'm working.

But it hits me at night.

When every part of me, for you, is hurting.

I go through withdrawals.

I love you that's all.

Chorus

Because when I look in your eyes I know you understand.

That good things always seem to slip right through my hands.

And everything but love is just grains of sand.

But with you this is my life.

Here with you this is my life.

This is my life.

Bridge

Why does it always have to be like this?

Always desperate in a goodbye kiss.

Now I'm back from the dead.

With you in my head.

Chorus

Because when I look in your eyes I know you understand.

That good things always seem to slip right through my hands.

And everything but love is just grains of sand.

But with you this is my life.

Here with you this is my life.

This is my (life).

(Because when) I look in your eyes I know you understand.

That good things always seem to slip right through my hands.

And everything but love is just grains of sand.

But with you this is my life.

Here with you this is my life.

This is my life.

Outro

This is my life!
