Night After Night
Lyrics:
[English]
(Night after night now, night after night)
(Night after night now, night after night)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
So this is emptiness, part of the game I guess
Went out looking for remedy, but the night won't set you free
No matter the warning signs, no matter how hard I try
My pulse is getting quicker, finger's on the trigger
(Night after night now, night after night)
Give me all that I need, find the truth on my knees, babe (night after night now, night after night)
(Night after night now, night after night)
Keep the fever on 'til I come undone
Every morning light shines on the shame I hide
But I'm in no way ready to face the sun
God knows what I've become
'Cause every cold and dark deserted room
Every touch that wasn't meant for you
I could've been somebody's baby but 'til then I guess
I'll just keep coming
(Night after night now, night after night)
Give me all that I need, find the truth on my knees, babe (night after night now, night after night)
(Night after night now, night after night)
Keep the fever on 'til I come undone
(Night after night now, night after night)
(Night after night now, night after night)
Undone
(Night after night now, night after night)
Keep the fever on 'til I come undone
...
Feel it in my bones, I'm heading for the door, oh my
Walked this road before, I could never let you out my sight
(Night after night now)
And I keep holding on to you
(Night after night now)
I keep on holding on to you
(Night after night now)
I keep on holding on to you, to you, to you
(Night after night now)
And there ain't nothing I can do
(Night after night after night after night)
(Night after night after night after night, now)
...
