When You Leave

When you leave me alone in this world, 
I feel like I’m being torn apart. 
I don’t know where to go without you, 
I don’t know where to start. 

When you leave me alone, 
I reach for your hand, but it fades away. 
I can’t comprehend anything without you by my side, 
So please stay. 

When you leave me alone, I feel like I’m blind,
It’s hard to see my future without you there. 
When you’re gone, I can’t help but cry, 
You’re one of the only people who care. 

Please stay here with me, I can’t go without you, 
I don’t want you to leave me alone in a dark place. 
When you’re beside me, that hole in my chest, 
You filled that empty space.
