(Verse 1) Nineteen years of coffee in the morning Nineteen years of your head upon my chest I memorized the rhythm of your breathing And built my world on what we knew was best I thought we had a lifetime still to go I thought our story was a constant, steady flow (Chorus) Then you said the words, a cold and quiet knife "You're not in love with me, it's time we end this life" But you don't have to love me, I'm not asking for the moon I have enough love inside this room for the both of us, it's true I'll spend my days trying to win your heart back And I'll be okay if you never react Just don't leave me, I'm begging you, please I can't play this game of life without you next to me (Verse 2) I'll relearn all the chapters of your soul, love I'll remember why you laugh and why you cry I'll be the shelter in every storm that finds you I'll look for answers in your weary eyes I'll build a bridge from this lonely, broken shore And pray that someday you might walk across it once more (Chorus) 'Cause you don't have to love me, I'm not asking for the moon I have enough love inside this room for the both of us, it's true I'll spend my days trying to win your heart back And I'll be okay if you never react Just don't leave me, I'm begging you, please I can't play this game of life without you next to me (Bridge) They say love is a two-way street to travel But I'll walk mine alone, through the gravel and the stone If it means at the end of the day, your shadow's still beside my own This house ain't a home with just an echo of your name So I'll bear this silent love, this one-sided flame (Chorus) No, you don't have to love me! I'm not asking for the moon! I have enough love inside this room for the both of us, it's true! I'll spend my days trying to win your heart back! And I'll be okay if you never react! Just don't leave me, I'm begging you, please! I can't play this game of life without you next to me! (Outro) (Music softens, back to just the acoustic guitar) Just your hand to hold... A story half-told... Don't leave me... No, I can't survive... just don't leave me.
