Don't Leave Me
Matthew Kurz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your eyes, your lips, your smile, your touch
I'd never thought i'd miss them so much
I know i messed up, i confess it
When i said i love you i meant it
Tell me this is all in my head
If i pinch myself will i wake up and find you next to me
If i wake up from this nightmare, promise i'll do anything
Cos you are the reason i'm standing
You are the reason i sing
You are the reason i'm living
You are my everything
You are the reason i breathe
I'm begging on my knees
Don't leave me, don't leave me

Your face, your hair, your sweet oh oh oh (oh oh yeah)
I never thought i'd be so alone
Wish i could turn back time and turn my wrongs to right
I think i'm losing my mind
If i pinch myself when i wake up and find you next to me
If i wake up from this nightmare, promise i'll do anything

Cos you are the reason i'm standing
You are the reason i sing
You are the reason i'm living
You are my everything
You are the reason i breathe
I'm begging on my knees
Don't leave me, don't leave me

Whatever it takes i'll do it cos i need you to stay
What i gotta do to prove that i need you to stay
Everywhere i go i can see your face
Memories of us that i can't erase
Part of my life that i can't replace
That's why i need you to stay

Oh cos you are the reason i'm standing
You are the reason i sing
You are the reason i'm living
You are my everything
You are the reason i breathe
I'm begging on my knees
Don't leave me (please don't leave me)
Don't leave me (please don't leave me)

You are the reason i'm standing
You are the reason i sing
You are the reason i'm living
You are my everything

You are the reason i'm standing
You are the reason i sing (don't leave me)
You are the reason i'm living (don't leave)
