Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's hard to imagine breathing on my own
When every breath inside of me is tangled up in Yours
It's hard to imagine the sun without the moon
'Cause anything that's bright in me's only bouncing off of You
If I shine, it's because of You
If I love, it's because of You
If I'm strong, it's because of You
It's all because of You
It's easy to think that religion is a lie
When all I see is the hypocrite through the splinters in my eyes
It's easy to think that I just made You up
When everyone I know is scared of falling in love
If I shine, it's because of You
If I love, it's because of You
If I'm strong, it's because of You
If I'm right, it's because of You
If I shine, it's because of You
If I love, it's because of You
If I'm strong, it's because of You
If I'm right, it's because of You
I'm in love, in love, in love [x3]
I'm in love, I'm in love
If I shine, it's because of You
If I love, it's because of You
If I'm strong, it's because of You
It's all because
It's all because of You
Yeah, it's all for You
Yeah, it's all for You
Yeah, it's all for You
Yeah, it's all for You God
It's all for You
Yeah, it's all for You
