Now you've requested change
And you're waiting on support
You've stuck your neck out and bit off more than you can afford
So you've been charged on it
And it's a sentence that I can't whisper anymore
Love gives the quickest sense that draws
You're scared to let go
Your hands are holding all that you know
And you will beg
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
And both of your hands
You've got a pain that starts in your thumbs
That follows down your lie lie lie lie lines to everyone
It's taking sometime and time is running out on this wine
Still you write every line like it's your last one
Well hope can send a dagger to your heart
So you must believe in, believe in, believe in all you are
You don't have to go,
I know its been way too far long
And you will say
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
you're scared to let go
you're holding on to all that you know
And you will say
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
Does anybody out control?
you're scared to let go
you're holding on to all that you know
still you will say
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
Don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me
don't leave me this time
