Lyrics

Are you there?

Are you watch ing me

as I lie here on this floor?

They say

you feel

(Cm)what I do.

They say you’re here

ev ’ry mo ment.

Will you stay,

stay till the (Cm)dark ness leaves,

stay

here with (Eb)me?

I know you’re bus y, I know I’m just one;

but (Ab)you might be the on ly one who sees me,

the on ly one

to save me.

Why

is it so

hard?

Why What’s it like can’t you just take me?

I heart

don’t have much to go

be fore

I fade com plete ly.

to me.

Can you feel

how cold I am?

Do you cry

as I do?

Are you lone ly up there all by your self,

like (Ab)I have felt

all my life?

The on ly one to save mine.

Are you there

you watch ing me,

as I lie here on this floor?

Do you cry,

you cry with me,

as I cry here on this floor?

with me

to night?

Are you there?

Are you watch ing me?
