What You Are To Me

I hope you know that the scars
Are only bleeding for a short time
I need you to know that even though
You're leaving we'll be fine

Because these songs that I write for you
Will remind us of the days when you
Lived down the street just a block away

Oh, when the cold comes you will leave
In the leaves die wilting memories
Snow will fall without you by my side
Shoveled walkways undefined

What you are to me
Like a puzzle piece
You fit me perfectly
And you are to me the air in which I breathe
'Cause your love is what I need
It's what you are to me

And I'll act selfish when you go
'Cause I wanted you to know that I still need you
When cardboard boxes line your room
Then they'll carry parts of you away from me

And I'm so tired of being scared
And when you're leaving me but you're unaware
I know we'll be alright

Oh, inevitably fading trees
Painted yellow when you leave
Snow will shade the ground a tiny of blue
My home feels empty without you

What you are to me
Like a puzzle piece
You fit me perfectly
And you are to me the air in which I breathe
'Cause your love is what I need
It's what you are to me

Although the flowers fade
Our love is evergreen
And when the seasons change
You stay the same to me
'Cause you hold my pieces in your hand

'Cause you are to me
Like a puzzle piece
You fit me perfectly
And you are to me the air in which I breathe
'Cause your love is what I need
It's what you are to me
