in the dead of night
i still remember every word
we spoke in secret.
songs we didn't get to finish fill my mind.

and in the dead of night
i'm writing them all down
to keep them forever.
in a song our love can never die.

and in my dreams
you are the war that never ends.
you are the waves
that crash to pieces in the sand
beneath my feet tonight.

with one star in the sky that hasn't fallen,
i will close my eyes and make a wish
for this to never fade away again.

this is no way to live.
when will you learn
that we accept the love
we think that we deserve?

the writing on the wall
is just as you left
it says you better end it all
before you live to regret it.

and this is what it saves,
so live under the weight
of everything you've done.
(everything you've done)

and this is what it's like
to spend your life behind
the barrel of a gun.

i watched you fall apart.
i've waited from the start
to be the one to catch you on the ground.

there's no need to run
you know that she's the one
who'll never let you down,
never let you down again.

i watched you fall apart
(this is no way to live)
from the start
(when will you learn
that we accept the love
we think that we deserve?)
there's no need to run
(the writing on the wall)
she's the one
(is just as you left
it says you better end it all
before you live to regret it.)
