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
