  • Let me help you, how much longer till you realize?
    You're getting worse and it's killing you inside
    I can't break through, do you have to face this on your own?
    Want to be left alone

    Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
    I know that it's tearing you apart
    Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
    Come alive

    You feel I'm asking too much of you but can't let go
    Fear breeds the hate and your apathy, empty and hollow
    You lost your face, there's no getting through. Why shut me out?
    Frantic, disturbed, filled with misery, can't figure it out

    Sleepless, worse for wear
    Staring at the ceiling
    I'm sedated, intoxicated

    Deafening, deafening
    Shout it out, shout it out
    Burning, burning
    No way out, no way out

    Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
    I know that it's tearing you apart
    Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
    Come alive

    Asked me to listen
    Can't go on to face another day
    I lied, not admitting
    What I lost is still in you

    Something's missing
    You see darkness in my eyes
    Maculate, there is no cure
    Playing over to stop pretending
    Walked inside, it's never ending turn

    Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
    Don't leave me now
    Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
    Don't leave me now Writer/s: John Petrucci

  • Mm from IndianaI have been listening to this beautiful song over and over... for 2 months. I have connected with this on many levels as it can also be interpreted as to dealing with a partner who is in the throws of addiction... which is my situation. I lost my fiance 2 months ago, and every word of this song is something that I talked to her over and over about.
