LYRICS
Just so you know, I cry myself to sleep from night to night. I fear the sunrise because I don’t want to face the world. I’m not what you think I am. I’m about to break. Now I let the night take me away.
No, don’t tell me that you just don’t care because you know that it will break me. Don’t tell me that you feel my pain when you never shed a tear. No, you don’t know what’s good for me. You’re not the thing I need. You’re never there for me.
Take me away. Now I’ll let the night take me away.
Sitting in my room while the night goes on, thinking I don’t need you. But I feel so lost without you. Promise me the sun. Let it wash my worries away.
No, don’t tell me that you just don’t care because you know that it will break me. Don’t tell me that you feel my pain when you never shed a tear. No, you don’t know what’s good for me. You’re not the thing I need. You’re never there for me.
Take me away. Now I’ll let the night take me away.
This is the real me. You think you know who I really am. Stay up till 2 so I can be cool. Wake up at 5:30 just to be fake.
(Studio Improv)
No, don’t tell me that you just don’t care because you know that it will break me. Don’t tell me that you feel my pain when you never shed a tear. No, you don’t know what’s good for me. You’re not the thing I need. You’re never there for me.
Take me away. Now I’ll let the night take me away.
