The Only Night

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was young

And I was a victim of her killer smile

Her love was cheap

And it was great for a little while

I had to leave

But she wanted me to stay

And she ripped up my shirt

And left the marks of her disdain

I couldn't take it no more

I can't spend another night alone

I can't take it no more

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong in spending time with you

I'll keep you warm, you'll hold me tight

This might be our only night

Be our only night

Oh, I can't give up

No, no, no, no, oh

I tried to reconcile

But it never made a difference

You could cut the atmosphere with a knife

It was so tense and cold

And everytime I tried to get a little closer to you

You got further and further away from me

Until you faded into the distance

Yes, you did

There was nothin' I could do

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong in spending time with you

I'll keep you warm, you'll hold me tight

Â'Cause this might be our only night

This might be our only night

I can't spend another night alone

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong in spending time with you

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong in spending time with you

Keep me warm and I hold you tight

Â'Cause this might be our only night

Be our only night

Let me hold you, let me hold you

We might never get a chance again

Oh, can't give up
