The city of angles is lonely tonight
Keep themselves alive by candlelight
Say she can't love you like I do
Look me in the eyes and say it's [bad word] 
I ask myself, is this love at all?
When I need you most you let me fall
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Let you live your life pretend I'm okay
(Don't ya know that this ain't over) I'll be okay
I'll hold you close we'll stay forever

I don't understand why you're leaving me
I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please, don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

You can pretend I don't exist
But you see my face every time you kiss
I hope you hurt and your walls fall down
When you hear the sound that I'm okay
(Don't ya know that this ain't over) I'll be okay
You can't hold me down I won't stay forever

I don't understand why your leaving me
I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

I watch you leave, walk away tonight
And I'm letting go for the last time
And through the tears I say good bye
So breath in, breath in, breath in, breath out

I don't understand why your leaving me
I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

I don't understand why your leaving me
I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

I don't understand why your leaving me
Now without you I can't breathe
Don't leave me here
