So when we're in the dark
You won't even look me in the eye
I got surprises girl that you won't really like
But under motorways and on scaffolding
Shared all our big ideas
But if it's not the way s'not the way
What am i supposed to say
Knows when to try
Don't dare look her in the eye
She'll be gone by tomorrow nite
Don't dare look her in the eye
When i found you it was yesterday
A scar tissue dustbin kid
Tried to delay the rat catcher
And for a while i did
Keeping wolves back from the door
The ghosts back in the past
We could keep each other grounded
If we don't grow up too fast
Always one to try
Don't dare look her in the eye
She'll be gone by tomorrow nite
Don't dare look her in the eye
So this is how it ends
Just trampled to the floor
Showed you nearly all my heart
And you showed me the door
So hello to these lonely streets but they had no idea
That i'd promise the world to you
But leave you with the fear
Always one to try
Don't dare look her in the eye
And we know that boys don't cry
We'll be gone by tomorrow nite
Always one to try
Don't dare look her in the eye
She'll be gone by tomorrow nite
Gone by tomorrow nite
