As I walk away
My world comes tumbling down
That's all right
You'll go home again without me
Where will I go tomorrow
It doesn't matter if you want me to stay
Should I turn around
Come back to you
Or should I keep on walking away
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow if I stay
I would lay down my life for you
I would lay down my life for you
I would lay down my life for you
I would lay down my life for you
I kept going on
When going on made no real sense at all
But it's no good now
It's all clear to me
Now that my back is against the wall
How will you get through tomorrow
It doesn't matter, I know you will
And we'll be together forever
Bound by the way we made each other feel
And I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life for you
'Cause it feels so good with you
Yes it feels so right with you
I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life
I will lay down my life for you
