The Only Night

(album: Songs For You, Truths For Me - 2008)

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 stay
And she ripped up my shirt

And left the marks of her disdain

I couldn't take it no more
I couldn't spend another night alone
I couldn'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
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 every time I tried to get little closer to you
You got further and further away from me
Until you faded into the distance
Yes you did
There was nothing 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
When you hold me tight
Coz this might be our only night
This might be the 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
Coz this might be our only night
