What if you said   You didn't want me to leave?   If I could see something inside   And I've got nothing left to hide      Lost track of days gone by   Blinded by the city lights      And all I can do is lay my cards on the table   Because it's a shame to know that   There's someone better for your love      There is something you should know   And I'm dying here without you   'Cause when the sun    Comes up and opens my eyes,   I'll still be here.      What if I said,    "I need this to live?"   I can't give you what you wanted   When I'm a thousand miles away from you and I've   Lost track of weeks gone by   Caught in one more sleepless night      We'll still need California   And maybe someday we'll call it home      Oh   There is something you should know   And I'm dying here without you   'Cause when the sun    Comes up and opens my eyes,   I'll still be here.      I thought I was fine   Then you came around   I need this now, I'm going home   What if I said to you,   "Choose between your dreams and the ones you love"?   (You said the choice was mine)   You said the choice was mine   We'll I've made up my mind      There is something you should know   I'm dying here without you      There is something you should know   And I'm dying here   Tired of being on my own   And I'm so fucking tired      When the sun comes up    And opens my eyes   I'll still be here   (2x)   Still be here      Whoa (5x)
