They tell me that you're going away
What makes you want to leave
You gave me your love, you gave me your vow
Now you're leaving me here to grieve

Live and let live, don't break my heart
Don't leave me here to cry
I never could live if we should part
Tell me you don't mean goodbye

I stayed awake last night and walked the floor
What makes you grieve me so
Live and let live, don't break my heart
I don't want to live if you go

Live and let live, don't break my heart
Don't leave me here to cry
I never could live if we should part
Tell me you don't mean goodbye

(Instrumental Break)

You're the one who's made me love you so
You're the one who's making me cry
You're the one who'll break my heart if you go
Tell me you don't mean goodbye

Live and let live, don't break my heart
Don't leave me here to cry
I never could live if we should part
Tell me you don't mean goodbye
