I Will Live

So many people use the phrase
"I would die for you"
But I couldn't imagine what you'd do
If I died for you

I would much rather live
Live to protect you
Live to see you smile
Live to be held in your arms

I will live

Even if I end up in a hospital bed
And the doctor tells me there is no chance
I will defy the odds

Even if all hope is gone
No matter how bad I want to give up
No matter how sweet death would feel
No matter how close to the edge I am

I will always be here for you
Protecting you
Smiling with you
Holding you
And being held

I will live
