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
there´s a tightening in my chest
i know that I´m drawn in
oh god let it not be - you

don´t leave us
don´t leave like this
don´t leave me here again
i´m not quitting on you
no one else
you´re 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

don´t leave us (your eyes are bright, your blood is warm)
don´t leave like this (your heart is strong, you´re holding on)
don´t leave me here again (i feel your pulse, i hold your hand)
i´m not quitting on you
there´s no one else
you´re not quitting on us
there´s no way out
no way out

don´t leave us
don´t leave like this
don´t leave me here again (i feel your pulse, i hold your hand)
i´m not quitting on you
there´s no one else
you´re not quitting on us
no running away - no way out
