[Verse 1]
I feel things changing when I move
(It's a distance, it's a difference)
Across this planet without you
(And you might call this a downfall)
It's one long night that I'm passing through
(It's a dark one, what have I done?)

[Chorus]
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
And don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one
Your greatest take down?
You take me down
[Verse 2]
Left last night with a long goodbye
(With some red wine through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty when you leave me)
What's one more?
[Chorus]
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
And don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the broken one
Your greatest take down?
You take me down
You take me down
[Violin Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I won't get by, I won't heal in time
I won't get by
[Chorus]
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
And don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one
Your greatest take down?
You take me down
