Being Alive

[ROBERT]

Someone to hold you too close

Someone to hurt you too deep

Someone to sit in your chair

And ruin your sleep

And make you aware

Of being alive

Someone to need you too much

Someone to know you too well

Someone to pull you up short

And put you through hell

And give you support

For being alive

Being alive

Make me alive

Make me confused

Mock me with praise

Let me be used

Vary my days

But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody hold me too close

Somebody force me to care

Somebody make me come through

I'll always be there

As frightened as you

Of being alive

Being alive, being alive

Someone you have to let in

Someone whose feelings you spare

Someone who, like it or not

Will want you to share

A little, a lot

Of being alive

Make me alive

Make me confused

Mock me with praise

Let me be used

Vary my days

But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love

Somebody force me to care

Somebody make me come through

I'll always be there

Frightened as you

To help us survive

Being alive, being alive

Being alive

Being alive
