Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh, I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they got none, uh-huh
[PreChorus]
Stay with me, oh
Let's just breathe
[Verse 2]
Practiced are my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt
There's so much in this world to make me bleed
[PreChorus]
Stay with me
You're all I see
[Chorus]
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean
[Verse 3]
I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, oh no
[PreChorus]
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
[Chorus]
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean, I
[Outro]
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me till I die
Meet you on the other side
