Id
Mike Koglin & P.O.S. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it my turn to wish you were lying here?
I tend to dream you when I'm not sleeping
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world?
Or even imagine your emotions, tell myself anything
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands?
Tell you I love you and you not hear me
Is it my turn to totally understand?
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing

If I have to give away the feeling that I feel
If I have to sacrifice, oh, whatever babe, whatever, baby
If I have to take apart all that I am
Is there anything that I would not do?
'Cause inside I'd die without you, yeah, baby
'Cause inside I'd die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you

Oh, I apologize for all the things I've done
But now I'm underwater and I'm drowning
Is it my turn to be the one to cry?
Isn't it amazing how some things completely turn around?
So take every little piece of my heart
Yeah, take every little piece of my soul
Yeah, take every little bitty piece of my mind
'Cause if you're gone inside I'd die without you

If I have to give away the feeling that I feel
If I have to sacrifice, oh, whatever babe, whatever, baby
If I have to take apart all that I am
Is there anything that I would not do?
'Cause inside I'd die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you

'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
