Second Midnight

(album: Never The Strangers - 2012)

Been raining again downtown
And she's trying too hard to fall asleep
Too much crying
Too much hiding
Turned back on everything they told her
Turned back on everything she's done
Don't you listen now
Don't you listen

'Cause the world's a bitter place
Telling you to wait in vain
Burning down your fairytale, your fairytale

One thing for you to keep on running
You fall and then your life's begun
By now you should've learned
No secret's ever, ever safe
So free yourself now
Free yourself now
Before it's too late
Before it's too late

Maybe the secret doors will open
Keep knocking 'till they let you in
Who said when you're against the wall
You'll never, ever win

Was it the demons of your past
That threaten you to breathe your last
When you deserved something else, something else

One thing for you to keep on running
You fall and then your life's begun
By now you should've learned
No secret's ever, ever safe
So free yourself now
Free yourself now

From all the things that robbed you blind
Yeah, everything's gonna be all right
Don't fake it, you need it

You never miss what you never know
You're holding on but you're letting go
Believing, believing

It's the second midnight, oohh
Ooohh
The second midnight
Hmmm
