Lyrics
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’ve got none, uh-huh
Stay with me, oh-ohh
Let’s just breathe
Practiced on my sins, never gonna let you win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
I don’t want to hurt
There’s so much in this world to make me believe
Stay with me, oh
All I see
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
But I come clean
I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave and nothing you would take, uh-huh
Nothing you would take, everything you gave
Did I say that I need you? Oh-ohh
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
But I come clean
Nothing you would take, everything you gave
Love you ’til I die, meet you on the other side
