Yes I understand That every life must end As we sit alone I know someday we must go Yeah I'm a lucky man To count on both hands The ones I love Some folks just have one Yeah others they got none Stay with me Let's just breathe Practised on our sins Never gonna let me win Under everything Just another human being I don't want to hurt There's so much in this world To make me believe Stay with me All I see Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? What if I did and I'm a fool you see No one knows this more than me 'Cause I come clean I wonder everyday As I look upon your face Everything you gave And nothing you would take Nothing you would take Everything you gave Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? What if I did and I'm a fool you see No one knows this more than me I come clean Nothing you would take Everything you gave Hold me 'till I die Meet you on the other side
