[Verse 1]
Tell me it's all in my head, tell me it's all a bad dream
That I'm just gonna wake up, and you'll still be next to me
A permanent weight on my chest where I should be holding you close
Don't let me live in a world where I have to let you go

[Chorus]
You might as well take the breath from my lungs
The stars from the sky
I wouldn't need the sun to rise
If you're not here, what would I be?
Darlin', don't take your love from me
I could live without, oh, just about anythin'
But, if I lose you, darlin', then I lose everything

[Verse 2]
How could I ever get by? How could I ever go on
Knowing you're spending the night in somebody else's arms
Letting him take off your dress, watching it fall to the floor
I wouldn't have anything left, and I couldn’t take anything more

[Chorus]
You might as well take the breath from my lungs
The stars from the sky
I wouldn't need the sun to rise
If you're not here, what would I be?
Darlin', don't take your love from me
I could live without, oh, just about anythin'
But, if I lose you, darlin', then I lose everything
[Bridge]
Pull me in, say it's not over
2 a.m., and I'm going through hell
Stay the night, cry on my shoulder

[Chorus]
But if you leave, then you might as well take the breath from my lungs
Stars from the sky
I wouldn't need the sun to rise
If you're not here, what would I be?
Darlin', don't take your love from me
I could live without, oh, just about anythin'
But, if I lose you, darlin', then I lose everything
