saw a group of people forming

round a figure lying down

and someone runs to make a phone call

and the man kneels on the ground

the man kneels on the ground

theres a tightening in my chest

i know that Im drawn in

oh god let it not be you



dont leave us

dont leave like this

dont leave me here again

im not quitting on you

no one else

youre not quitting on us

no running out



the colour in your shirt is darkening,

against the paleness of your skin

i remember how you held the goldfish

swimming around in a plastic bag

swimming around in a plastic bag



you held it up so high

in the bright lights of the fair

it slipped and fell

we looked everywhere



dont leave us (your eyes are bright, your blood is warm)

dont leave like this (your heart is strong, youre holding on)

dont leave me here again (i feel your pulse, i hold your hand)

im not quitting on you

theres no one else

youre not quitting on us

theres no way out

no way out



dont leave us

dont leave like this

dont leave me here again (i feel your pulse, i hold your hand)

im not quitting on you

theres no one else

youre not quitting on us

no running away no way out
