Take Me Home
Cyrus Lyrics

The city of angels is lonely tonight
The place where I am currently residing, which is also known as the 'city of angels' appears to me to be devoid of any life tonight.

Keep myself alight by candlelight
In order to keep my spirits up, I am surrounded by candles and their faint light.

So she can love you like I do
I hope that the person you are with is able to love you like I am capable of.

Look me in the eyes and say it's true
I need you to confirm to me that what you say is genuine by looking me in the eyes.

I ask myself is this love at all
I am questioning whether the emotions that I am feeling towards you are even considered love.

When I need you most, you let me fall
During the times when I needed you the most, you were not there for me and let me down.

I'm always here at the side of your stage
I will always be present and supporting you from the sidelines in your life.

Let you live your life
I allow you to live your life the way you please without interference.

Pretend I'm okay (don't you know)
I am putting on a façade and pretending to be alright, even though I am struggling (don't you understand).

I'll be okay
I will eventually come out of this situation alright, despite feeling hurt and upset.

I'll hold you close we'll stay forever
I want to cherish our time together and remain close to you for an eternity.

I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I am confused as to why you are abandoning me and leaving me behind.

I, I don't understand, how without you I can breathe
I cannot comprehend how I am supposed to continue living without you. You are my lifeline and without you, it is difficult to breathe.

Please don't, don't leave me here
I am begging you not to leave me in this state of loneliness and sadness.

Take my hand and breathe in deep
Please take my hand and let us breathe together to calm our nerves and ease our fears.

I don't understand why you can't take me with you
I am struggling to grasping the concept of why you are not taking me with you as you leave.

You can pretend I don't exist,
You can ignore my existence and act as though I am not worthy of your time and attention.

But you will see my face every time you kiss
My face will come to your mind every time you kiss someone else, knowing that it should be me.

I hope you heard any walls fall down,
I yearn for you to have realized that my emotional walls finally let down in front of you.

When you hear the sound that I'm okay (don't you know)
When you hear that I am doing well, I want you to know that it is all a façade and that I am still hurting inside.

You can't hold me down, I will stay forever
You cannot suppress me, and I will remain a part of your life forever, even if from a distance.

I watched you leave
I witnessed you leaving me behind, and it has caused me great pain.

I'm awake tonight
I am unable to sleep, and my thoughts are consumed with the pain of your departure.

And I'm letting go for the last time
I am finally letting go of the hope that you will return to me and accept my love.

And through the tears I say goodbye
Through my tears, I bid you a final farewell, knowing that it is time to move on.

So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.
Take slow, deep breaths to help calm your nerves and ease the pain of this situation.

Don't leave me here
Please do not leave me alone in this state of despair and heartache.

I, I don't understand, How without you I can breathe
I cannot comprehend how I will be able to continue living without you, as you are the source of my strength.

Please don't, don't leave me here
I am pleading with you to stay and not leave me in this state of emotional turmoil and pain.

Take my hand and breathe in deep
Please, take my hand and breathe deeply with me, as we try to calm our anxiety and fear.

I don't understand why how can't take me with you
I am struggling to comprehend why you are not taking me along with you as you leave me behind.
