Watching you run to places you’re finding
Your comfortable beauty is always residing
Can you hear me calling, calling out anymore?
Can you see me falling, falling down at your door?
(I) Cannot live here without you
Reaching for something I can hold onto
The touch of your distance is all I belong to
Can you hear me calling, calling out your name?
Can you see me fallen, fallen down to shame?
(I) Cannot live here without you
By my side
You only hide
Are you lonely tonight?
Do you want me to try
To be by your side?
(I) Cannot live here without you
(I) Cannot live here without you
(I) Cannot go on without you
(I) Cannot go on without you
By my side
