Sara Bareilles
Extract
[Verse 1]
To say at least, I'm alive (To say at least, I’m alive)
Seems so melodramatic
No evidence suggests
That a heart within someone's chest
Can bruise, no longer be used
Simply from a losing love
But I must say

[Verse 2]
That if our earthly vessels worked that way
The beating mind depends upon would vanish
And I'd be gone, by now
Yeah, if love was a sound
Then stark silence is all we would hear
But these words

[Verse 3]
That some might think too much at first
Indulgent and a bit absurd
So what if they are? They’re still true
They're all I have left of you
So I'll guard them with every last breath
And let myself say anything instead
'Cause what's harder than that?
Than two hearts from which love would extract
