If you're gonna leave upon the day
Least I have you for the night
If you're gonna leave upon the day
Least I have you for the night
Cuz love, you can't replace it
Who am I to keep you by my side?
Nothing seems as far away
As the heartbeat next to mine
But nothing feels so far away
No, I'm not complaining
Cuz I've got my ways
It's my heart, my beliefs
I've counted the days
Since I felt that release
Then I lost your gaze
In the cold of an autumn breeze
What can I say?
If you're gonna leave upon the day
Least I have you for the night
Cuz no love needs to be staying
In my arms for all my life
Find a better place
Find a heart you'll feel alive with
Cuz love, you can't replace it
So who am I to keep you by my side
By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side
By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side
Carefully, without a trace
My emotions take a dive
Like everything is out of place
I'll get the green or on the chase
Then take a drink and realize
I've been here before
So I've got my ways
Got the cards up my sleeve
I put out the blaze
Swept the ash underneath
If we're out of phase
You can go if it's what you need
What can I say?
If you're gonna leave upon the day
Least I have you for the night
Cuz no love needs to be staying
In my arms for all my life
Find a better place
Find a heart you'll feel alive with
Cuz love, you can't replace it
So who am I to keep you by my side
By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side
By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh
No tears I cry will make you stay
I'll dance alone, in smoke or rain
Completely and serenely satisfied
I find
Cuz the mist meets my fingertips
Embracing me with a smile
Reminding me if I'm all alone
It's only for a while
