Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lately I've been spending time with my sins
I feel you worried who's driving
No-one but you will tell me the truth
So I beg you, don't go easy on me
[Verse 2]
I know you bend and bend and bend
So I can feel free
And never do or say a thing to make me agree
I want you to see what you mean to me
[Chorus]
I don't wanna break you down
Or say goodbye to you
And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you?
I don't wanna tear you down
Or come home crying to you
I don't wanna live and die never knowing what it's like to be close to you
[Verse 3]
We were blind from the bright
Of the morning sunlight
In the rearview where the glass was glowing
Both holding back
With a lonely black dog in the doorway
So the bruises wouldn't show
[Verse 4]
That's when you said you'd never share the depths of your heart
And made it known to me you'd never let down your guard
[Chorus]
I don't wanna break you down
Or say goodbye to you
And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you?
I don't wanna tear you down
Or come home crying to you
I don't wanna live and die never knowing what it's like to be close to you
[Refrain]
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
[Chorus]
I don't wanna break you down
Or say goodbye to you
And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you?
I don't wanna tear you down
Or come home crying to you
I don't wanna live and die never knowing what it's like to be close to you
I don't wanna live and die never knowing what it's like to be told the truth
[Outro]
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
