I don't want to feel the ground
when you finally let me down
i don't want to fade away
if i'm standing in your way
i want to see you walking in away
with that look on your face
so you can leave me and not be lonely
this time's too slow to speak
and i am waiting to believe
this flame's too dim to keep
you can leave me and not be lonely
you're standing at my door
but your not knocking, not like before
there are no words left for you to breathe
my hand's tied to your sleeve
you can leave me and not be lonely
