[Verse 1]
You listen to the music fade
Hope the night will turn to day
You lay alone in your room at night
Await your mind to take you on a ride from reality
Time goes by, out the corner of your eye
You catch a glimpse of sunrise
You try not to cry
But tears rush to comfort your lonely heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not denyin' the truth
The pain is real and loneliness hurts
Lift your eyes from the gloom
There's someone out there who is hurtin' too
And they need you

[Chorus]
Don't leave this life today
The world would never be the same
Without you here, we need you here
And you may not know it yet
But you're the piece that makes the puzzle complete
Don't you see it now?
You were the one the stars were gazing on
All those lonely nights
We need you here, don't disappear
You're the prize of the universe
[Verse 2]
Here come the voices now
Stampeding through your head (Head, head)
One says that no one cares
Another says, "Why even try?" Hmm
As time flies by in the back of your mind
You start to plan an escape from this place
You cover your mouth and cry, bleedin' in the dark
And no one knows

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not denyin' the truth
The pain is real and loneliness
Oh, it hurts, it hurts
But lift your eyes from the gloom
There's someone out there who is hurtin' for you
Someone who bent over backwards, bled on a cross
So you don't have to bleed

[Chorus]
Don't leave this life today
The world would never be the same
Without you here, we need you here
And you may not know it yet
But you're the piece that makes the puzzle complete
Don't you see it now?
You were the one the stars were gazing on
All those lonely nights
We need you here, don't disappear
You're the prize of the universe
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No, you don't have to bleed
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
If you don't want your life
I know the One who does
He catches every tear you cry
And never leaves your side
If you don't want your life
I know the One who does
He catches every tear you cry
And never leaves your side

[Chorus]
Don't leave this life today
The world would never be the same
Without you here, we need you here
And you may not know it yet
But you're the piece that makes the puzzle complete
Don't you see it now?
You were the one the stars were gazing on
All those lonely nights
We need you here, don't disappear
You're the prize of the universe
[Outro]
We need you here, don't disappear
You're the price of the universe
