[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Let me help you

how much longer until you realize?

You're getting worse

It's killing you inside

I can't break through

Feel you have to face this on your own

Want to be left alone

[Chorus]

Don't leave me now

don't leave me now

I know that it's tearing you apart

Don't leave me now

don't leave me now

Come alive

[Verse 2]

You feel I'm asking too much of you

but can't let go

Fear breeds the hate and your apathy

empty and hollow

You lost your faith, there's no getting through

Why shut me out?

Frantic, disturbed, filled with misery

can't figure it out

[Interlude]

Sleepless, worse for wear

staring at the ceiling

Numb, sedated, intoxicated

[Pre-Chorus]

Deafening, deafening

Shut it out, shut it out

Burning, burning

No way out, no way out

[Chorus]

Don't leave me now

don't leave me now

I know that it's tearing you apart

Don't leave me now

don't leave me now

Come alive

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Asked me to listen

Can't go on

and face another day

I lied

not admitting

What I lost is still in you

Something's missing

You see darkness

in my eyes

Maculate

there is no cure

Playing over, stop pretending

Warped inside its never ending tide

[Outro]

Don't leave me now

don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
