[Verse 1]

Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh

As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh

Oh, I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love

Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they got none, uh-huh


[Refrain]

Stay with me, oh, let's just breathe

(Ooh-ooh)


[Verse 2]

Practiced are my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh

Under everythin', just another human bein', uh-huh

Yeah, I don't wanna hurt

There's so much in this world to make me bleed


[Refrain]

Stay with me, you're all I see


[Chorus]

Did I say that I need you?

Did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see

No one knows this more than me

As I come clean


[Verse 3]

I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh

Everythin' you gave and nothin' you would take, uh-huh


[Refrain]

Nothin' you would take, everythin' you gave


[Chorus]

Did I say that I need you?

Oh, did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see

No one knows this more than me

As I come clean, I


[Post-Chorus]

(Ah)

(Ah-ah)


[Outro]

Nothin' you would take, everythin' you gave

Oh, hold me 'til I die, meet you on the other side
