Oh, love, don't leave me now
I've never seen the sun on my own
I've never felt what it's like to have stars in my eyes
I have never known how

You've shown me places within my chest
That I wouldn't have seen in all this dark
My clumsy hands felt at the walls, smoother and warmer than I would have guessed

Oh, love, don't leave me now
We've come so far, yet have grown rooted like a tree in eachother's arms
I can't untangle all our boughs
Without breaking myself

These little things of the world
They aren't as precious as your scars
They aren't as lovely as your grin
So keep these wings of ours unfurled

We can rise away from here
If only you would let us try
We won't get away if you go alone
So tell me we're stronger than your fear

Oh, love don't leave me now.

I've never been able to stay on my own.
