Analysis of You

R B 2010 (Virginia)



You are the reason for the darkness
You are the reason for the light

You are why I live
But you will also be the reason I die

When you’re near I am happy
When you’re gone I am sad

When you talk to me I feel glad
But when you talk to her I feel mad

I smile around you, but you never do

I know you think of her
When you look at me

I feel incomplete without you
But apparently it's not the same with you
