Lyrics and translation
Original
Scared to death to watch you leave.
Felt like hours
I didn't breathe.
Laid awake all night. Can't believe all the tears I cried.
You were all I ever knew to need.
You said I was the desert, I let you be the rain.
Let you be the blood runnin' through my veins. Time's got a way of doin' what it does.
Goodbye ain't the bullet that I thought it was. Thought it would kill me.
Thought I was done.
If any love could take me down, I thought you'd be the one.
My heart's still beatin', the world still turns around.
And it turns out you're something that I can live without.
Oh, thank God
I was wrong.
With my eyes open, you look different gone.
Left me in the dark, but the sun came and did its part.
That silver lining showed up and shined a light on who you are.
Thought it would kill me.
-Thought it would kill me. -Thought I was done.
If any love could take me down, I thought you'd be the one.
My heart's still beatin', the world still turns around.
And it turns out you're something that I can live without.
Live without.
You said I was the desert, I let you be the rain.
Let you be the blood runnin' through my veins. Time's got a way of doin' what it does.
Goodbye ain't the bullet that I thought it was.
-Thought it would kill me. -Kill me.
-Thought I was done. -I was done.
-If any love could take me down. -Take me down.
I thought you'd be the one.
-My heart's still beatin'. -My heart's still beatin'.
The world still turns around.
And it turns out you're something that I can live without. Live without.
