More Than Life

awake and uneasy. scared 'cause i'm begging you already in my dreams. was it a question you were begging that i couldn't answer when i left? i'm whole in light of you - there's more than life to lose. "hurt stays . . ." i'm sure you know the rest. we'll see how far we get on courage and regret. i loved you more than life, it almost killed us both. and it's funny 'cause i think i need you more than you need me. i have eaten enough of my own sentiment, it would kill me to choke down the rest. why would it hurt you so bad to forgive, would it hurt you so bad to forget? you hold your breath as you hold me to your chest and i hold back my regret - if this is all that i get of you.
