Youre the reason Im still breathing by MIC-ON-MIC Lyrics
Ayo, Yea
Uh yea ok
[VERSE 1]
Cross my heart and hope to die that I will not fail you
But instead that I will be the one to get to tell you
To live your life to the fullest and watch you succeed
But it's tragic that your smiles are really a cry in need
Of a friend, of a brother, for somebody to listen
Well I ain't no "double o seven" but you got me on a mission
Been on it since October
Back when the weather was colder
Yea I wasn't that much older
It was then when I had told-her
That I was here for her
When no one was hearing her
And she smiled for a second I saw, hope in her eyes
The same kind of hope that made people want to live their life's
Fast forward to a couple of weeks, was when shit got real
You called my phone, said you didn't know how to feel
Under the bridge, near the water was your exact location
Said you wanted to jump in but don't fall into temptation
Just wait a lil longer, promise that I'm almost there
Aye
Pulled up to tears on your face and asked why you were crying
You said "nothing was wrong" but I knew that you were lying
Then you responded by saying that you were done trying
That deep down inside you wished that you were dying
Damn
[Chorus]
So cross my heart and hope to die (cross it)
That by tomorrow you'll still be alive (be alive)
That today you'll only wanna strive (wanna strive)
To live a long full life (yessir)
So cross my heart and hope to die (cross it)
That by tomorrow you'll still be alive (be alive)
That today you'll only wanna strive (wanna strive)
To live a long full life (yessir)
[VERSE 2]
Crazy
Reoccurring thoughts, it got me double thinking
That week at school could've really been your last weekend
Yea this the kind of stuff that don't nobody wanna be speaking
But ima touch on this topic because the secret you keeping
Has to be shared as a beacon
For the ones who've been weaken
And just feel out of place
But know that god makes no mistakes
So there's no need to worry
But anyways where was I ? Oh yea let's get back to this story
Then I hugged you real tight but I knew it wasn't enough
You look up to me but I wasn't ever this tough
See I remember the days when I used to get bullied too
So in a way I can relate to what you've been through
The name calling to the punches that would then bruise my skin
A battle on my own that I knew I could not win
But that's okay though. cause I wasn't always alone
So I want you to know you too have a place to call home
[Chorus]
So cross my heart and hope to die (cross it)
That by tomorrow you'll still be alive (be alive)
That today you'll only wanna strive (wanna strive)
To live a long full life (yessir)
So cross my heart and hope to die (cross it)
That by tomorrow you'll still be alive (be alive)
That today you'll only wanna strive (wanna strive)
To live a long full life (yessir)
[INTERLUDE]
You tell me I'm the reason that you're still breathing
Ha, but I say you're the reason that I'm really living
Shit's crazy though, to think if I never answered my phone
You wouldn't be here today
[VERSE 3]
Tell me have you ever had a friend tired of living ?
Fed up every night, too used to their mascara dripping
Yea they got a body but deep down they so hollow
So they then try to swallow
Their problems away in hopes to end it
Instead try to comprehend it
Cause I would never believe the words that were leaving out her mouth
I would never believe how her life was heading down south
Yet nobody cared or even bothered to ask
Your raw emotions formed a mask
Composed to a collage
Undetected camouflage
Of mixed emotions and feelings
Ideas of hanging from the ceiling
And overdosing on pills
Yea I know the pain kills
But I promise I'll be your savior
Cause I know you're not a failure
And I promise you're not worthless
Cause every life on this planet has a purpose
And trust me girl, that you've just barely scraped the surface
Uh yea ok
[VERSE 1]
Cross my heart and hope to die that I will not fail you
