Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was just burning days Glare on the ceiling fan Counting the cracks in the paint Like they had some kind of plan Coffee gone cold on the table My name like a rumor in my head Telling myself "stay able" But I felt half-alive instead [Chorus] If I had to have a reason to live I want you to be the reason why The reason my heart beats in my chest The reason I don’t freeze inside If I’ve gotta hang on by a thread Let it tie me back to you again If I had to have a reason to live You’re the reason I’m not alone again (hey!) [Verse 2] You kicked in the door of my silence Boots on my brittle pride Laughed at the ghosts in my closet Said "they don’t get to drive" Now every cheap bar Street sign Late night Feels like a place we claimed You wrote your number on my wrist Where I used to hide my shame [Chorus] If I had to have a reason to live I want you to be the reason why The reason my heart beats in my chest The reason I don’t flatline If I’ve gotta hang on by a thread Let it tangle us Skin to skin If I had to have a reason to live You’re the reason I’m not alone again (oh yeah) [Bridge] I don’t need a grand design Just your name pressed to mine When the world feels too loud Too loud You’re the quiet in the crowd [Chorus] If I had to have a reason to live I want you to be the reason why The reason my heart beats in my chest The reason I still survive If I’ve gotta hang on by a thread Let it pull me back to you again If I had to have a reason to live You’re the reason I’m not alone again You’re the reason I’m not alone again (hey!) You’re the reason my heart beats again

rock, Crunchy alternative rock with a punk snarl; male vocals that shift from spoken confessional in the verses to wide-open, shout-along choruses. Gritty rhythm guitars panned wide, driving bass locking with a fast, tight kick-snare, and a single melodic lead line answering the vocal hooks. Choruses hit harder with gang vocals and a slight tempo lift; bridge drops to half-time with palm-muted tension before exploding back into the final hook., alternative rock, beats, punk
