[Chorus]
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
[Verse 1]
Slowly lost my mind
What if this heart breaks into something that I'm unable to heal?
And what about the time?
I try my best to make it okay every day, but either way
[Pre-Chorus]
No one can stop me now
I feel the rain upon my face again
This is the life, woah, and they're gonna say I'm a handful
But they don't keep me alive, ooh
[Chorus]
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
Wе'll do it somehow
[Verse 2]
Lonely herе tonight
No one I can speak to right now
Might remain here underneath the sheets
A lot of wasted time
Just thinkin' things that don't excel me
It starts to rain, but that won't hurt 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
No one can stop me now
I feel the rain upon my face again
This is the life, oh, and they're gonna say I'm a handful
But they don't keep me alive, ooh
[Chorus]
So don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'm gon' stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow, do it somehow
