Everyday
You remind me
Of why I choose to live tonight
And not die today

You take a breath
And I do too
You take a breath
Exhale, and I taste you

We hold on to things we can’t help and we hate
We hurt at the sight of shame while losing our way
We bury our heads, we bury our dead day after day
But do we ever wonder if there’s another way?

Someday
You’ll find me
At the edge of all my hope
And in my throat not a word to say

For now let’s play
Chase me away
For now we’ll stay
Just one more day

Tomorrow I will still have so much to say to you
and when I die you’ll still try to give your love to me, too
