i wake up exhausted
force myself out the door
i know it's pathetic
but i wish we would've said more

i said please stay a little longer
i'd rather talk to you than sleep
tell me a few more hopes and desires
and secrets that make you weep

don't leave me alone tonight...

chorus:
you tell me that she still has your heart
and i say "it's alright, you can have mine
though i must warn you that it's in pieces
but i'm sure you can fix what you've broken."

we're so far apart
but closer than we've ever been
and as loneliness begins to fade
her name manages to slip in

there's always a her, baby
so tell me how she hurt you
even if it kills me
i'll be the girl you can run to

i won't leave you alone tonight...

(chorus)

listen a little longer, convince yourself it's true
"the places that you knew you'd loved,
the only time you'll ever trust"

(chorus x2)

together we're lonely tonight...
