  • When you feel your love's been taken
    When you know there's something missing
    In the dark, we're barely hangin' on
    Then you rest your head upon my chest
    And you feel like there ain't nothing left
    I'm afraid that what we had is gone

    Then I think of the start
    And it echoes a spark
    And I remember the magic electricity
    Then I look in my heart
    There's a light in the dark
    Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
    That I wanna keep
    Please don't leave
    Please don't leave

    When you lay there and you're sleeping
    Hear the patterns of your breathing
    And I tell you things you've never heard before
    Asking questions to the ceiling
    Never knowing what you're thinking
    I'm afraid that what we had is gone

    Then I think of the start
    And it echoes a spark
    And I remember the magic electricity
    Then I look in my heart
    There's a light in the dark
    Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
    That I wanna keep
    Please don't leave
    Please don't leave

    And I want this to pass
    And I hope this won't last
    Last too long

    Then I think of the start
    And it echoes a spark
    And I remember the magic electricity
    Then I look in my heart
    There's a light in the dark
    Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
    That I wanna keep
    Please don't leave
    Please don't leave Writer/s: John Henry Ryan, Julian Collin Bunetta, Niall James Horan, Teddy Geiger
