Anatomy of Love

You ask me why I can't live without you.
The Earth can't live without the Sun.
Flowers die without rain from the sky.
Without water, the rivers don't run.

My life is a song that no one hears,
A painting that no one can see.
You've kept me alive for so many years,
Now you ask me to set you free.

Without your love, my life is through.
My dear, you're my most vital part.
Don't ask me why I can't live without you.
No man can live without a heart.
