The city of angels is lonely at night,
Keep myself alive by candlelight,
So she can't love you like I do,
Look me in the eyes and say it's true,
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,
I'll be okay,
I'll hold you close, you'll stay forever
[Chorus:]
I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand, now without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and I'll plead into tears,
I don't understand why you can't
Take me with you
You can pretend I don't exist,
But you will 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,
I'll be okay
You can hold me down, I will stay forever
[Chorus]
I watched you leave, I'm awake tonight
I'm letting go for the last time
And through the tears I say goodbye
So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out
[Chorus] (x2)
