Here we stand alone
Our goodbyes and our waiting
Getting our fate to move
Always the hardest part
Like friends we know
We’ve traveled off from one another
And we’re trying to face the days a world apart

Change is what we have
All the born into
That’s what he said
And all that I have to hold on to

You have opened up a part of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face
And you
Have opened up a part of me
Saying please don’t leave me here
When I’m a world’s apart from you

Independence is the part that drew you in
You said I like the way you know a thing or two
But I must confess
The air I breathe has a chill
Making you less aware of what I have to do
I tell you now I can’t reveal the strength I need
Climb all the mountains wishing you were here to see

But you have opened up a part of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face
You have opened up a part of me
Saying please don’t leave me here
When I’m a world apart from you

With a true and faithful heart
I found it
Apart from all the others
I can stand alone because I know that

You have opened up a part of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face
You have opened up a part of me
Saying please don’t leave me here

And you, you
Saying please don’t leave me here
And you, you
Saying please don’t leave me here
And you, you
Please don’t leave me here
And you, oh you
Saying please don’t leave me here
Where I’m a world apart from you
