every breath (the world)

At first, I thought,
I had everything I'd ever need.
I'd make others happy
with each and every deed.
Back then, I thought
my life was mine to lead.
They took it away from me
now matter how much I'd plead.
Born as an accident
to be raised to be let down.
That's how I saw myself
until you came around.

Now I've found out
how hard life can be.
The world's on your back.
All the lands and the seas.
Can I take your hand?
Can I set you free?
With every little breath
you mean my world to me.

You took me in your arms
like no one ever would.
You tell me you'd be here,
only if you could.
Each time we talk
something inside turns on.
My worries only show when
I feel like it's gone.
It's hard to think
about that life back when
I thought I didn't need love
but that was then.
This is now
and I must say.
"I love you too"
like I want t everyday. Everyday.

Now I've found out
how hard life can be.
The world's on your back.
All the lands and the seas.
May I take your hand?
and set you free?
With every little breath,
with every little feeling left,
I need you to see
that you mean my world to me.
