Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The city of angels is lonely tonight
Keep myself alive by candlelight
Say she can't love you like I do
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
[Verse 2]
I ask myself is this love at all?
When I need you most you let me fall
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Let you live your life, pretend I'm okay
[Verse 3]
Don't you know that this ain't over?
I'll be okay
I'll hold you close, we'll stay forever
[Verse 4]
I, I don't understand
Why you're leavin' me
I, I don't understand
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I plead in tears
I don't understand
Why you can't take me with you
[Verse 5]
You can pretend I don't exist
But you see my face every time you kiss
I hope you hurt and your walls fall down
When you hear the sound that I'm okay
[Verse 6]
Don't you know that this ain't over?
I'll be okay
You can't hold me down, I won't stay forever
[Verse 7]
I, I don't understand
Why you're leavin' me
I, I don't understand
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I plead in tears
I don't understand
Why you can't take me with you
[Verse 8]
I watch you leave, walk away tonight
And I'm letting go for the last time
And through the tears, I say goodbye
So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out
[Verse 9]
I, I don't understand
Why you're leavin' me
I, I don't understand
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I plead in tears
I don't understand
Why you can't take me with you
[Verse 10]
Don't understand
Why you're leavin' me (I don't, don't understand)
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
My hand, I plead in tears
I don't understand
Why you can't take me with you
