Never Leave You
Chester Lockhart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So far, you let me down
You can't get off the ground
Please don't make a sound
It's over now
I see you fall
I see you falter
I see you waste away

And you know
That I will never leave you
And you know
That I will always care for you
Even though the others may deceive you
You should know that I'll always be true to you

I can't let you go
No matter what I know
Your words cut through the smoke
My heart's a-glow

I see you fall
I see you falter
I see you waste away

And you know that I will never leave you
And you know that I will always care for you
Even though the others may deceive you
You should know that I'll always be true to you

Let me know, let me know when you realize
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Deep inside your heart is mine
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Let me know, let me know when you realize
Deep inside your heart is mine

I will never leave you
I will always care for you

Even though the others may deceive you
You should know that I'll always be true to you
