Scared to death to watch you leave
Felt like hours I didn't breathe
Laid awake all night
Can't believe all the tears I've cried
You were all I ever knew to need

You said I was a desert, I let you be the rain
Let you be the blood running through my veins
Time's got a way with doing what it does
Goodbye ain't the bullet that I thought it was

Thought it would kill me, thought I was done
If any love could take me down, I thought you'd be the one
My heart's still beating, the world still turns around
And it turns out, you're something that I can't live without

Oh, thank God I was wrong
With my eyes open, you looked different gone
Left me in the dark, but the Sun came and did its part
That silver lining showed up and shined a light on who you are

Thought it would kill me (thought it would), thought I was done
If any love could take me down, I thought you'd be the one
My heart's still beating, the world still turns around
And it turns out, you're something that I can't live without
Live without

You said I was a desert, I let you be the rain
Let you be the blood running through my veins
Time's got a way with doing what it does
Goodbye ain't the bullet that I thought it was

Thought it would kill me (kill me), thought I was done (I was done)
If any love could take me down (take me down), I thought you'd be the one
My heart's still beating (my heart's still beating), the world still turns around
And it turns out, you're something that I can't live without
Live without, oh
