Can You Afford to Lose Me? Songtext
von Holly Humberstone

You′re my home planet
You were my stars, my holy place

Hmm, but you took me for granted
Right from the start now, didn't you, babe?

And I
Wish you the best of luck in findin′ someone else who's strong enough
And I
This is the only time I can't be keepin′ you from fuckin′ up

So, go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?

Go ahead and pack your bags
But, once you′re gone, you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?

And if you still got that fire
Then prove it to me


I was your life support machine
Didn′t you realize it was always me? (Always me)
I was always there to pick up the pieces
When you were a full-blown catastrophe, yeah

And I
Gave you the closest thing you ever had to love, so sober up
And this time
This is the final time I'll draw the line, I′ve suffered long enough

So, go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?

Go ahead and pack your bags
'Cause, once you′re gone, you can′t come back
Can you afford to lose me?

And if you still got that fire
Then prove it to me, hmm

Can you sleep without me?
Can you breathe without me?
Don't you need somebody? (Can you?)
Need somebody, need somebody (hmm, I wanna know, can you?)


Can you sleep without me? (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Can you breathe? (Can you afford to?)
Don′t you need somebody? (Hmm)
(I wanna know, can you?) Need somebody

Go ahead and do your worst
Don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?

Go ahead and pack your bags
Once you′re gone, you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?
