[Verse 1]
Yes I do, I believe
One day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, these days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me not to cry when you were gone
Oh, but the feeling is much too strong

[Chorus]
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, next to you?
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
Mmm

[Verse 2]
Reaching out to you
Oh, can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you like crazy, like crazy, like crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me not to cry when you were gone
Oh, but the feeling is much too strong

[Chorus]
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, next to you?
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

[Bridge]
Lay me down tonight
Lay me down tonight
Lay me down tonight
Lay me down tonight

[Chorus]
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, next to you?
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, next to you?
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
