The city of angels is lonely at night

Keep myself alight by candlelight

So 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

[Chorus:]

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, i'll plead in tears

I don't understand why you can't take me with you

You can pretend I don't exist,

But you'll 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

[Chorus]

I watched you leave

Walk away tonigh

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.

[Chorus]

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'll plead in tears

I dont understand why how can't take me with you
