Don’t leave me is all I hear you say
Somehow it keeps me from all of the plans that I made
Your promises sparkle; I tell myself not to believe
The things that I want lose out to what I need
Chorus
Time does not waste itself
A dream cannot wake itself
The truth cannot disgrace itself
An unwritten prayer cannot save a lost soul
Arms cannot embrace themselves
A heart cannot break itself
And I cannot shake myself from you
We both know there’s only so much a person can take
Only so far you can reach; only so long you can carry that weight
So some of us learn how to live with what we know we can’t fix
So we walk tall and act proud; pretend that it’s better than it is
Chorus (twice)
Don’t leave me is all I hear myself say
As you persuade me to throw the rest of my life away
