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 well, others, they've got none uh-huh
[Refrain]
Stay with me, oh
Let's just breathe
[Instrumental]
Practiced are my sins, never gonna let you win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
And I don't want to hurt, there's so much in this world
To make me believe
[Refrain]
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
But I come clean
[Verse 2]
I wonder every day, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave and nothing you would take, uh-huh
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
[Chorus]
Did I say that I need you? Oh-oh
Did I say that I want you?
Or if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean, oh
[Instrumental]
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Love you 'til I die
Meet you on the other side
