If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm not afraid to dream
To sleep, sleep forever
I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high
And you refuse to lift me
Guess it wasn't real after all
Oh, guess it wasn't real all along
If I fall and all is lost
It's where I belong
If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm never gonna be
Your sweet, sweet surrender
Guess it wasn't real after all
Oh, guess it wasn't real all along
If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way
Remember, that all alone
Is where I belong
In a dream
Will you give your love to me
Beg my broken heart to beat
Save my life
Change my mind
If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way
Remember, that all alone
Is where I belong
Quote from Amy:
It's about breaking up. There are a lot of relationship struggles on the record. I always write about what I was feeling, because then it's genuine. I was struggling with a relationship and felt like a waste of space. The first lyric says it all, "If you want to live, let live/ If you want to go, let go/ What are we doing here?/ Because I can live without you."
