Lyrics

don’t leave me behind

[Verse 1]

At the start, I always knew that we would be

Said goodbye to loneliness that haunted me

Now all I see is you, I'm trying to get through

'Cause all I need to know is if you feel it too

[Chorus]

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

[Verse 2]

Never thought that all perfection laid in you

I had to stop myself from believing this is all too good to be true

[Chorus]

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

[Bridge]

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

[Chorus]

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

I'm hung up on you and you like me too

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

[Outro]

Don't leave me behind

Don't leave me behind

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind

Don't leave me behind

Don't leave me behind

I see this going somewhere

Don't leave me behind
