She got away quick She always leaves them guessing The first time it's a trick The second time it's a lesson I've got the rest of my life To get over her now And I sit all alone in my room Wondering how Hold back the night There's no place that's safe to go Hold back the night Take it away Turn out the light It's getting too hard to see This darkness is k**ing me Hold back the night Don't want to sleep Don't want to dream Got nothing to say About the things I have seen I've got the rest of my life I'm holding tight All I need right now is a little more time So hold back the night There's no place that's safe to go Hold back the night Take it away Turn out the light It's getting too hard to see This darkness is k**ing me Hold back the night 'Cause the shadows are holding me And all I can hear is the beat of a heart All I can see is the daylight slipping away Slipping away I've got the rest of my life I'll do alright Oh Hold back the night There's no place that's safe to go Hold back the night Take it away Turn out the light It's getting too hard to see This darkness is k**ing me Hold back the night Hold back the night Oh Hold back the night I've got the rest of my life Hold back the night Yeah Hold back the night
