[Verse 1]
I've held on for as long as I can
For the ones that I had to defend
I've been strong every day of my life

This world is a wasteland where nothing can grow
I used to have strength, but I ran out of hope
I know it's my fault that I'm here all alone
This world is a wasteland

I'm not ready to face it
Don't go saying goodbye
There's a beauty in changes
And I wanna try
[Chorus]
This world is a wasteland where nothing can grow
If it weren't for you, I'd be here all alone
I know in my heart this is where we belong
This world is a wasteland
[Outro]
Don't let me go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Don't let me go
