Sometimes it feels like, I'm gonna break Sometimes this world, gives more than I can take Sometimes, sunshine gets lost in the rain And it keeps pouring down It just keeps coming down This life would kill me If I didn't have you I couldn't live without you baby I wouldn't want to If you didn't love me so much I'd never make it through 'Cause this life would kill me This life would kill me if I didn't have you You are my heart, every breath I breathe I'm safe in your arms, you rescue me When I'm weak, you're strong If you were gone I don't know where I'd be You were made for me (You were made for me) This life would kill me If I didn't have you I couldn't live without you baby I wouldn't want to If you didn't love me so much I'd never make it through 'Cause this life would kill me This life would kill me if I didn't have you If you didn't love me so much (If you didn't love me so much) This life would kill me If I didn't have you (This life would kill me) Couldn't live without you baby I wouldn't want to If you didn't love me so much I'd never make it through 'Cause this life would kill me This life would kill me if I didn't have you
