Because You Live

Jesse McCartney · Right Where You Want Me [2006]

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart

It's the end of the world in my mind

Then your voice pulls me back

Like a wake-up call



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



[Chorus]

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



It's all right, I survived, I'm alive again

Cause of you, made it through every storm

What is life, what's the use

If you're killing time



I'm so glad I found an angel

Someone who was there when all my hopes fell

I wanna fly, looking in your eyes



[Chorus]

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself

When nobody else can help

Because you live, girl (you live)

My world (my world) has twice as many stars in the sky



Because you live, I live



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



[Chorus]

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself

When nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world (my world) has twice as many stars in the sky



Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself

When nobody else can help

Because you live, girl (because you live)

My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live, I live
