 I dream  a lot, I know you say I've got  to get away.
 "The world  is not yours for the taking" is all  you ever say.
 I know  I'm not the best for you, but promise  that you'll stay.
 'Cause if I watch  you go, you'll see me wasting,
 You'll see  me wasted away
 'Cause today,  you walked out of my life
 'Cause today,  your words felt like a knife
 I'm not living this life.
 Goodbyes  are meant for lonely people standing  in the rain
 And no matter  where I go it's always pouring  all the same.
 These streets  are filled with memories both perfect  and in pain
 And all I wanna  do is love you but I'm the only  one to blame.
 'Cause today,  you walked out of my life
 'Cause today,  your words felt like a knife
 I'm not living this life.
 But what do I  know, if you're leaving
 All you did was stop the bleeding.
 But these scars  will stay forever,
 These scars will stay forever
 And these words  have no meaning
 If we cannot find the feeling
 That we held  on to together
 Try your hardest to remember
Stay  with me,
 Or watch  me bleed,
 I need  you just to breathe.
 'Cause today,  you walked out of my life
 (stay with me, or watch me bleed)
 'Cause today,  your words felt like a knife
 (i need you just to breathe.)
   ( )
 I'm not living this life.
