Don't Go


You’re the spark I feel inside

That’s keeping me alive

The warmth that thaws my soul

The only love I’ve ever known, so

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t leave me alone

I can’t stand on my own

Be the shoulder I can cry on

The hand that I can hold

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go

Take my heart and hold it tightly

I’m  tired of the fighting

Just let me listen to your heart beat

Until I can forget me

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go

I beg, burn me up because smoke can fly

And shades don’t have to cry

Derive joy from misery

You are mine, the past can keep its agony

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go

Heal the wounds but leave the scars

So I know you’re never far

Be the strength that keeps me breathing

The love that lets me know my heart is beating

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go
