Moon looking bright tonight

High in the sky like trying to keep you alive

Alright, just stay away from me, let me down easily

You're too late, you're too late

Don't you pray? Don't you pray?

Seeking for my embrace, wanting my touch, begging me to stay

Every night and day, calling my name, shout it 'til you break

You took my heart, held it and ripped it apart

Made me your prisoner, got me going right under

Feeling that you feign, fooling me again

No need to explain, taking my own lane

God's helping me out, get over my doubt

Thought I can't live without, forget you right now

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

I wanna know the cure for all that time you make me endure

All the words you say ought to keep your prey well and behaved

I reckon it's time, betting my luck on dimes

Taking new leap in, getting far away from your cheating

Seeking for my embrace, wanting my touch, begging me to stay

Every night and day, calling my name, shout it 'til you break

You took my heart, held it and ripped it apart

Made me your prisoner, got me going right under

Feeling that you feign, fooling me again

No need to explain, taking my own lane

God's helping me out, get over my doubt

Thought I can't live without, forget you right now

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah (making my way, making my way)

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Feeling that you feign, fooling me again

No need to explain, taking my own lane

God's helping me out, get over my doubt

Thought I can't live without, forget you right now

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Telling me, "I'll kill for you"

Like a truth, with no proof

Never knew was a doll

Now the thing you pulled never make me yield

Pin you down like a golden view

Right uphill, make you dwell

What I feel? Wish you well

Living right in the kingdom I built anew

Telling me, "I'll kill for you"

Like a truth, with no proof

Never knew was a doll

Now the thing you pulled never make me yield

Pin you down like a golden view

Right uphill, make you dwell

What I feel? Wish you well

Living right in the kingdom I built anew

Draining tears and wallow in guilt
