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.

Don't leave me here

Especially not with her

You've heard of people getting lost

Here we don't even talk

Don't drink my fear

When I've had too much

You've heard of people getting lost

I wanna see you in the dark

And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new

I say don't let me go

And you say why can't we be friends

And all night I watch it burn

And you say why can't we be friends

And talk to me and tell me how this one goes

I need a taxi

This world is pointless

If you're not here

This world is pointless

If we're not self-destructing love

And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new

And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something

I say don't let me go

And you say why can't we be friends

And all night I watch it burn

And you say why can't we be friends

And talk to me and tell me how this one goes

I need a taxi

And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new

And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something

I say don't let me go

And you say why can't we be friends

And all night I watch it burn

And you say why can't we be friends

And talk to me and tell me how this one goes

I need a taxi
