Please Don't Leave

Therese are the words I speak
This is the grief I keep
There are the seconds and minutes and days and nights that I can't sleep
I do not fall away
I do not fade away
These are the only words that matter

Beneath the precipice
There's nothing left of this
OK, fine but now walk fifteen paces
Would you be appalled
When you watch me fall
Watch me fall out of your good graces

If you leave me, you'll take the only part of me that ever mattered
If you leave me, you'll take the only part of me that ever mattered

But it will end tonight
Sometime around midnight
There are the minutes and hours and days and nights and months and years
Did you decide then?
Of did you always know
That you were always going then just going it alone?

When we sat in your car
Listening to CDs
Did you imagine what life would be like without me?
When I put on this song
You said something's wrong
Did you think one day this song would be about you

If you leave me, you'll take the only part of me that ever mattered
If you leave me, you'll take the only part of me that ever mattered
If you leave me, you'll take the only part of me that ever mattered
If you leave me, you'll take the only part of me that ever mattered
