 LYRICS:

Lately I've been thinking you could change me but you never do,

Of course you never do.

But this something's got me feeling worried,

Maybe it's the truth?

I'm telling you the truth.

I know that I'm not perfect, But I'm yours.

I'm strong but empty, Only you can save me,

I'm only alive with you I'm only alive with you.

I stand here breaking, Only you can change it,

I'm only alive with you.

I'm only alive with you.

Time is racing, I'm still sat here waiting,

Am I too late, is it too late?

You see right through me,

you push and pull me,

showing me the way,

and you're the only way.

I know that I'm not perfect, but I'm yours.

I'm strong by empty, Only you can save me,

I'm only alive with you.

I'm only alive with you.

I keep on fading,

Only you can change it I'm only alive with you.

I'm only alive with you.

I need you woman,

Can't you give me something?

I can't keep on running,

I just lay here broken,

I can't keep on waiting,

Can't you feel me fading?

You're the only way.

You're the only way.

I'm only alive with you.
