Stayed A Little Late Tonight

(album: The Violet Flame - 2014)

I just wanted everything to be perfect
But you would call me slightly OCD
You know that there's a right time
A right place
Everything in order, a logic and a system to everything
Tear it into pieces go and tear it into pieces

There were nights when things you'd do would scare me
Your behaviour somewhat OTT

You know that now I have to question
Why I couldn't leave it well alone
You were going that way while I was going this way
But we'd left that situation

Should've left when you said
You don't live here no more
You're just hanging around
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight

Well aware that you know
That we've been here before
And you're pulling me down
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight

I guess it must be something in my make-up
I can be my own worst enemy

This ain't a two-way conversation
Why I couldn't listen long a go?
Thought I could handle your rejection
Stand up on my own but I'm walking on a tightrope

Should've left when you said
You don't live here no more
You're just hanging around
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight

Well aware that you know
That we've been here before
And you're pulling me down
I stayed a little late tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
