Not Alive

What's wrong with me
I hear her say
Forget everything
And what it means to me
I'm not alive
That's what she means
I hate to disappoint her
I only need some room to breathe

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
Must we compete?
Who speaks the truth?
You can have it all
If it serves you well
As long as I leave with myself

I'm wide awake, I was dead before today
If you make it till tomorrow, see it works both ways
I will not try to apologize, for what I know is right

Another chance
Wrapped up again
Makes it difficult for you
To comprehend
Just give it time
Time's all we've had
I loved you as a child
Now I must leave as a man

I'm wide awake, I was dead before today
If you make it till tomorrow, see it works both ways
I will not try to apologize, for what I know is right

It's so easy to be near me
When all I've said gets lost between
No, I don't know what you mean
It's so easy to believe me
Maybe I shouldn't
Yes I can
You know exactly who I am
I shouldn't fake this
Thing I've mistaken for love
And I need to set her free
Let her walk away
And leave with the best part of me

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
Must we compete?
Who speaks the truth?
You can have it all
If it serves you well
As long as I can leave with myself

Call it something that she needs to be
Call it something that she needs to find in me
