Don't Leave Me

I remember times we used
To spend within this room
In darkness I can still pretend,
I can still pretend she's with me.
They always say that time
Will wash away
All the painful memories,
But I want them to stay
I want them to stay inside me.
I never said I wanted your sympathy
You can take you're bleeding heart
Right out the door
Don't leave me
I never said I needed your empathy
I'll stay inside this room
Forevermore believing.

How can a person simply disappear?
You close your eyes one day
And vanish in the air
And no one is prepared to take it.
But what if I refuse to let her go?
Her picture on the mirror
And her scent upon my clothes
Her scent upon my clothes for comfort.

I never said I wanted your sympathy
You can take you're bleeding heart
Right out the door
Don't leave me
I never said I needed your empathy
I'll stay inside this room
Forevermore believing

If you can touch and you can taste it
And it's nothing like you've ever felt before
And you see it and you can feel it
And its nothing like you've ever felt before Slowly slipping
Slowly slipping away
I never said I wanted your sympathy
You can take you're bleeding heart
Right out the door
Don't leave me
I never said I needed your empathy
I'll stay inside this room
Forevermore believing.
I never said I wanted your sympathy
But it's something that I've never needed more
Don't leave me
I never said I needed your empathy
Sometimes we just don't know what's in store Believe me.
