I wake up to find myself
After all these years
And though all this time has gone
It still seems so unclear

'Cause there's no one else,
Since I found you
I know its been so hard
You should know

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
Your my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

It brings out the worst in me
When your not around
I miss the sound of your voice
The silence seems so loud

'Cause there's no one else,
Since I found you
I know its been so hard
You should know

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
Your my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

I spent all my life
Looking for our innocence
I've got nothing to lose
One thing to prove
I won't make the same mistakes
And now I know
That everything will be okay
If I die tomorrow

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
Your my everything
You make me feel so alive
Your my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow
If I die tomorrow
