Don't Go

Please don't leave
This pain is so great
I cannot breathe
I need a break
From this heartache
Please grant me this reprieve

But the words die on my lips
I feel you slipping through my fingertips
"Don't go, don't go" I cry
Pride forces me to hold my head up high
And I know I have to try
Because I know cannot live unless I'm by your side

Please stay here
This pain is so strong
I'll make it clear
How I've felt for so long
Was never truly wrong
And cannot die and disappear

But the words die on my lips
I feel you slipping through my fingertips
"Don't go, don't go" I cry
Pride forces me to hold my head up high
And I know I have to try
Because I know cannot live unless I'm by your side

Please, please remain
This pain is so deep
Too much to contain
I cannot sleep
I can only weep
Hiding behind sorrow's curtain

But the words die on my lips
I feel you slipping through my fingertips
"Don't go, don't go" I cry
Pride forces me to hold my head up high
And I know I have to try
Because I know cannot live unless I'm by your side

Please don't go
Please, I need you so
Please don't leave
I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
