Lyrics
Good Night
I just wanna go to sleep and kick down this empty street
It's better if I run away than face another day
I am shaking, I am trembling with a dark little tendency
I called out for all of you but no one reached for me
Who do I think I'm foolin' and to whom do I pray
All I have ever done is love and all you did is walk away
I've pulled the shades and locked the doors,
One last drink, I'll grab my keys
I'm worth about a hundred bucks,
I'll leave it out so they can see
No I won't be stupid you know
It's just that I can't understand
I wish we were together I know
That you would hold my hand
Who do I think I'm foolin' and to whom do I pray
All I have ever done is love and all you did is walk away
Who do I think I'm foolin' and to whom do I pray
All I have ever done is love and all you did is walk away
