[Verse 1]

Look at me, I'm so far away

Out of the way of rain

Far from the pain

Well, if you see me in your dreams

Would you still believe all that you see?


[Chorus]

Well don't leave me out

Well don't leave me out

Well, even though I'm not there with you

It's good to keep me close


[Verse 2]

Never thought that it would come to this

That I would be so missed

So quickly dismissed, yeah

I want nothing more than to be with you and at home

I know it's been so long

And what I did was wrong, yeah


[Chorus]

Don't leave me out

Don't leave me out

Well, even though I'm not there with you

It's good to keep me close, yeah


[Bridge]

Closer to your skin

You've gotta keep me deep within

'Cause where I am right now, I couldn't need you more

Close enough to see

Close enough to hear you breath

Close enough to feel the warmth of you

Because I'm so cold

Yeah


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

Well don't leave me out

Don't leave me out, yeah, yeah

Oh, don't leave me out, yeah, yeah

And even though I'm not there with you

It's good to keep me close


[Outro]

Even though I'm not there with you

It's good to keep me close

Even though I'm not there with you

It's good to keep me close, yeah

You okay?
