Before you're gone
Before you part
Could you hold on to my heart
Until I find someone else to hold onto?
And if you're done
Let me know
Please, don't give me any hope
That I might find someone else to replace you

You know that I love it when you're here
Darling, please don't disappear on me
I swear, I feel you everywhere like a whisper in the air, oh, please
Stop my heart from bleeding, babe
All you have to do is stay
All that I can do is say I love you, even through this pain

Before you're gone
Before you part
Could you hold on to my heart
Until I find someone else to hold onto?
And if you're done
Let me know
Please, don't give me any hope
That I might find someone else to replace you

And if it all goes wrong
Take the blame, it's your fault
Don't be mad when I'm gone
You'll never see me again
Could you just tell your feelings to halt?
'Cause I'll feel guilty because I kinda left you for dead

Stop my heart from bleeding, babe
All you have to do is stay
All that I can do is say I love you, even through this pain

Before you're gone
Before you part
Could you hold on to my heart
Until I find someone else to hold onto?
And if you're done
Let me know
Please, don't give me any hope
That I might find someone else to replace you

And if it all goes wrong
Take the blame, it's your fault
Don't be mad when I'm gone
You'll never see me again
Could you just tell your feelings to halt?
'Cause I'll feel guilty because I kinda left you for dead
