The city of angels is lonely at night Keep myself alive by candlelight Say she can't love you like I do Look me in the eyes and say it's true 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 I'll be okay I'll hold you close you'll stay forever I don't understand why you're leaving me 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 You can pretend I don't exist, But you see my face everytime you kiss I hope you hurt and your walls fall down When you hear the sound that I'm okay I'll be okay You can't hold me down, I won't stay forever I don't understand why you're leaving me 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 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. I don't understand why you're leaving me 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 Don't leave me here Please don't leave me here 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 how can't take me with you
