Don't Leave

I know you're tired of being here
And you’re sick of all the pain
But even if you leave me
My love for you will still remain

I'm begging you to stay
I need you to be strong
I was miserable for ages
But then you came along

As soon as I see your smile
The darkness floats away
And all I see is you
Because you take my breath away

You're such a beautiful person
Many others think the same
But you seem to think we're lying
And that we're playing some sort of game

We're not lying to you
We love you for who you are
And if you just stick this out
I know you can go so far

To me you are the moon
Guiding me through the dark
To others you are the leader
Saying ‘On your mark’

You think we don't understand
The pain you're going through
But if only you could see
That we are here to help you

You're beginning to push me
And all of your friends away
But I won't be pushed
Because I am here to stay

I might be being selfish
Keeping you here with me
But so many people need you
I don’t know why you can't see

You keep saying there's no reason to live
But look up to the stars
They're all so bright and magical,
Just like you are

You can brighten up a room
Simply by walking in
There's so many things that are great
I don't know where to begin

I know you've tried to kill yourself
But I'm so glad that it didn’t work
I know I was disappointed
But I'm sorry I acted like a jerk

Please don't try again
Because this time your wish could come true
And I would be left here . . .
Crying over you

Don't give up
We all need you here
Don't give up
I’ll help you with your fears

We all still love you
No matter what you believe
We know the truth
So please don't leave

You aren't just my friend
You are my heart
And if you left
It would be torn apart

You're my soul reason for living
I hope for you it's the same
And that if I left
Your love for me would still remain

Whatever the reason
I just need to know you tried
To beat the horrible monster
That is eating you inside

I might be being selfish
But if I am I don't want to change
Because I love you and I need you
So don't get out of range

You'll always be mine
And I hope that I am yours
And I hope one day we will meet
Where both our hearts will soar
