This ain't the fall of a nation
It's just a follow through
It skips a generation
As it tumbles on top of you

Please don't go
I won't face this world without you

Can't deny you a pardon
'Cause I can taste your tears
You're the one I rely on
And it's been that way for years

I want to show you the future
I want to share it with you
I want to tell you about this heart
That's gonna crumble if I'm losing you

Please don't go
I can't face this world without you
Please don't go
I can't face this world without you

Though we're never gonna know the road that lies
Just ahead of and beneath the falling sky
Oh, you've gotta roll the dice with me tonight

This ain't the fall of a nation
It's just a follow through
It skips generations
As it tumbles on top of you (tumbles on top of you)

Please don't go
I won't face this world without you
Please don't go
I won't face this world without you
Oh, don't go, don't go
I can't face this world without you
Don't go, don't go
I can't face this world without you
