Tell me it's all in my head
Tell me it's all a bad dream
That I'm just gonna wake up
And you'll still be next to me

A permanent weight on my chest
Where I should be holding you close
Don't let me live in a world
Where I have to let you go

You might as well take the breath from my lungs
The stars from the sky
I wouldn't need the Sun to rise
If you're not here, what would I be?
Darlin', don't take your love from me
I could live without, oh, just about anythin'
But if I lose you, darlin', then I lose everything

How could I ever get by?
How could I ever go on
Knowing you're spending the night
In somebody else's arms?

Letting him take off your dress
Watching it fall to the floor
I wouldn't have anything left
And I couldn't take anything more

You might as well take the breath from my lungs
The stars from the sky
I wouldn't need the Sun to rise
If you're not here, what would I be?
Darlin', don't take your love from me
I could live without, oh, just about anythin'
But if I lose you, darlin', then I lose everything

Pull me in, say it's not over
Two AM and I'm going through hell
Stay the night, cry on my shoulder
But if you leave, then you might as well

Take the breath from my lungs
Stars from the sky
I wouldn't need the Sun to rise
If you're not here, what would I be?
Darlin', don't take your love from me
I could live without, oh, just about anythin'
But if I lose you, darlin', then I lose everything
