late at night

she seems to take the weight of the world
for herself
she seems to spend her time running ‘round
for everybody else
late at night she cries for one moment
to be free
late at night she dreams of a day
where she can be
late at night she dreams of days
when there is no one, no one
and late at night she cries herself to sleep
wishing for someone
someone, someone to love
someone, someone to love

no one ever said it was gonna be easy
no one ever said it was going to be this hard
she knows she can’t stay busy forever
she doesn’t want to be alone anymore
there’s no one there to hold her while the candles are burning
no one there to understand the burn that she feels
she knows she cannot hide behind a smile forever
she doesn’t want to be alone anymore
how can it be this hard?
how can it be this hard?
why does it feel so hard?

late at night this world can be so hot
to hold on to
late at night this place can leave you empty
feeling cold
late at night this world can be
so full of tear drops, tear drops
and late at night she’s feels
she feels so all alone
waiting for someone, someone
someone to love
someone, someone
someone to love
please someone, oh only someone
someone to love
