Can't Leave You Alone


I tell myself

I could live without you

All the time

And I know it's a lie

I tell myself

I could forget you

Move on

If I had to

But I know

I would hate every second

Without you

 

I tell myself

You're better off

Which I know

Is still true

But I want you

More then I want to 

I want you more

Then I want anything else

Help me out

Take me down easy

Nice and slow

Just so I know

You were here

Imprinted on my skin

 

I tell myself

I need to let you go

Something

I already know

Very well

But without you

It's like living in hell

You kiss me

And I know

I've never wanted anything

The way I want you

So tell me

What should I do

When I know

I'm no good for you

 

Give me the strength

The courage

To walk away

You always say

The right things

At the best moments

And you love me

Better

Then any other lover

I've ever known

I can't leave it be

Can't leave you alone
