The city of angels is lonely at night
Keep myself alive by candlelight
Say she can 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, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand
Why you can't take me with you

You can pretend I don't exist,
But you will see my face
Every time you kiss
I hope you’re 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 will stay forever

I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand
Why you can't take me with you

I watched you leave
I'm awake 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, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
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 and breathe in deep
I don’t understand
Why you can't take me with you
