The city of angels is lonely tonight
Keep myself alive by candle light
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
(Don't ya know that this ain't over)
I'll be okay...
I'll hold you close we'll stay forever

I don't understand,
Why you're leaving me
I don't understand,
How without you I can't breath
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 that I don't exist
But you see my face every time you kiss
I hope you hurt when your walls fall down
When you hear the sound that I'm okay
(Don't ya know that this ain't over)
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 breath
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 breath in, breath in, breath in, breath out

I don't understand,
Why you're leaving me
I don't understand,
How without you I can't breath
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 don't understand,
Why you're leaving me
I don't understand,
How without you I can't breath
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
