The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know it's late now
But I'm wide awake and I want you
Call it fate, watch as I fade away
What's it come to
You're slipping away through the dark
I feel it tearing apart
Coming to get you
I'm here to protect you love
If you're lonely won't you hold me
Won't you lay your body down
Get to know me
Be the only living thing I care about
You're not alone when I'm around
I tried to call you
I know after all you'll be up still
Time's a-wasting
Your heart keeps racing, lay still
You're slipping away through the dark
I feel it tearing apart
Coming to get you
I'm here to protect you love
If you're lonely won't you hold me
Won't you lay your body down
Get to know me
Be the only living thing I care about
You're not alone when I'm around
I'm lying in cold sweat
For crying out loud
Oh, I'll sleep when I'm dead
I'm pulling my hair out
You're lying in cold sweat
For crying out loud
Oh, I'll sleep when I'm dead
I'm pulling my hair out
If you're lonely won't you hold me
Won't you lay your body down
Get to know me
Be the only living thing I care about
You're not alone when I'm around
You're not alone when I'm around
You're not alone when I'm around
You're not alone when I'm around
