I’ve been searching for a reason
To give up this life
But I can’t find one that’s worth leaving
You behind

I would rather die than let you go
I would rather die than see you cry
I would rather die than live without you
‘Cause you’re the reason I’m alive
(Verse 2)
I’ve been through the fire and the rain
I’ve seen the darkest days
But I’ve never given up on you
And I never will

I would rather die than let you go
I would rather die than see you cry
I would rather die than live without you
‘Cause you’re the reason I’m alive

I know that I can’t take you with me
When I go
But I’ll never forget you
And I’ll always love you

I would rather die than let you go
I would rather die than see you cry
I would rather die than live without you
‘Cause you’re the reason I’m alive
