Oh Yeah, It's Everything

I am grateful to be alive
I got held tight and I feel alright
These trials, I will survive
As soon as I get through this night

You held me tight like no other
Just in case you were wondering,
I will be fine and will not bother
Hey, I want you back and everything…
And everything…and everything…

Don’t leave me in the dust like the rest 
And don’t say I wasn’t trying my hardest
It’s everything, it’s everything that’s killing me gently
It’s everything, it’s everything that won’t set me free
And don’t say I wasn’t trapped in the first place
Because you don’t know all the stress I had to face
Not to mention the sadness
The madness, the distress
Don’t leave, leave, leave
If anything, don’t grieve
Because I won’t…
So, please don’t…

So, don't…say a word at all please
Look in my eyes before I begin to fall 
Oh, I won’t…let you go in the breeze
Just stay here at ease and stand tall 

You held me tight like no other
Just in case you were wondering,
I will be fine and will not bother
Hey, I want you back and everything…
And everything…and everything…

Don’t leave me in the dust like the rest 
And don’t say I wasn’t trying my hardest
It’s everything, it’s everything that’s killing me gently
It’s everything, it’s everything that won’t set me free
And don’t say I wasn’t trapped in the first place
Because you don’t know all the stress I had to face
Not to mention the sadness
The madness, the distress
Don’t leave, leave, leave
If anything, don’t grieve
Because I won’t…
So, please don’t…

Please don’t go away
You need to stay today
And every night, I must say
Everything is going to be just alright
As long as you take your grand flight

You held me tight like no other
Just in case you were wondering,
I will be fine and will not bother
Hey, I want you back and everything…
And everything…and everything…

Don’t leave me in the dust like the rest 
And don’t say I wasn’t trying my hardest
It’s everything, it’s everything that’s killing me gently
It’s everything, it’s everything that won’t set me free
And don’t say I wasn’t trapped in the first place
Because you don’t know all the stress I had to face
Not to mention the sadness
The madness, the distress
Don’t leave, leave, leave
If anything, don’t grieve
Because I won’t…
So, please don’t…

Don’t you leave, leave, leave…
I pull up my tear-stained sleeve…
Well, I guess I must walk away…walk away…
Pretend everything’s okay and all is going my way 
Figures you were just a passing day
I pray You fix my heart of dismay 
Or I might go crazy and go astray

Spoken: Don’t leave, leave, leave
If anything, don’t grieve
Oh yeah, it's everything 
That's bringing and weighing
You down to the ground
Be strong...
Oh yes, you're so bound 
To belong...
Whether you are in the right or wrong,
You and I long
For everything and everyone 
To get along and be as one
