I never left that day
Why did I push you away
I was losing from the start


And I would try to forget
All that had happened

Just to keep it all away

But I need you, Near me, I

Need you, near me, tonight

Chorus: just to keep me breathing

Just to keep me holdin' on
All I believed in
Keeps me from fallin'

I would always walk out
Hide from all the sorrow
Just to keep me breathin'

It's you I hold on to
You


I never trust myself
With loving someone else
Afraid that I might feel pain


Why couldn't I give it a chance
If pain isn't love that what is?

It's hard to just let it all in

But I need you, near me, I

Need you, near me, tonight

{chorus}

[Chorus x2 ]
