[Verse 1: Jonny Craig]
This hits too close to home for me
And I don't need to be reminded of this pain
I dwelled so long on the possible changes
And every step forward was a fall towards your demise
[Chorus: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(I am your doubt)
And I beg you
Please don't go tonight
And I beg you
Please just come back down
[Verse 2: Jonny Craig]
To earth to build this trust
In which we have learned
To recreate
[Chorus: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(I got nowhere to go)
And I beg you
Please don't go tonight
(And I can't help you now)
And I beg you
(And please don't go)
Please just come back down
[Bridge: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
Your pride won't let you ride
And you said
When will you give it up
And you said
I'm not leaving
You and me
And this will fall
You said this ended in arrogance
Caused by my vanity
Oh, where will you be?
Well, maybe you just looked too hard
Or maybe I don't look enough
Who will decide our fate?
[Outro: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
How will you align this with love?
How will you end this with glory?
And oh, don't let this go
And oh, don't let this go
And oh, don't let this go
