Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm forcing this feeling
I can't stand to be here anymore
I want you to come back
Stay here
Hug me
Forget who I am
I don't want you to go
Just want you to know
You got gold in your eyes
Your life's a forest on fire
Youre life's a forest on fire
Please don't leave me alone
I don't want you to go
Come back, come back, come back, come back soon
Come back, in your own time
(Stop and I feel sick)
Make up your mind
I don't want you to go
Just want you to know
You got gold in your eyes
Your life's a forest on fire
Youre life's a forest on fire
Please don't leave me alone
I don't want you to go
