(Intro)
(Deep bass)
(Heartbeat)
(Whisper)
Here we go again...
(Verse 1)
Sun goes down, I come undone.
Another battle no one won.
TV's on but I don't know
Anything that's on the screen anymore.
Books don't quiet down my mind.
Games just help me kill some time.
Every distraction fades away...
Soon as midnight learns my name.
(Pre-Chorus)
Tell me why...
Tell me why...
Every sunset feels like goodbye...
(Chorus)
Midnight doesn't love me... (Doesn't love me...)
Midnight doesn't let me sleep. (Let me sleep...)
It keeps every broken memory...
Waiting there for me to keep. (Keep...)
I'm so tired...
Of surviving.
Every evening...
Just surviving.
I don't need another sunrise...
I need one night...
Where my heart...
Can finally be quiet.
(Post-Chorus)
Just one...
Just one...
Please...
Just one...
(Verse 2)
Empty room but way too loud.
Lonely in a silent crowd.
Everybody sleeps somehow...
Tell me how they do it now.
I'm exhausted.
Wide awake.
How much more can one soul take?
Every morning...
I'm alright.
Every midnight...
Takes another bite.
(Pre-Chorus)
Don't close your eyes...
You know what waits...
(Chorus)
Midnight doesn't love me... (Doesn't love me...)
Midnight knows my every fear. (Every fear...)
Wraps them gently round my shoulders...
Whispers everything I hear. (I hear...)
I'm so tired...
Of pretending.
Every ending...
Needs mending.
I don't need another tomorrow...
I need tonight...
To let me breathe.
(Bridge)
I'm not asking...
To forget.
I'm not asking...
For revenge.
I'm just asking...
For one night...
Where silence...
Is just silence.
(Final Chorus)
Midnight doesn't love me... (Doesn't love me...)
But maybe...
It won't always know my name.
Maybe one night...
I'll close my eyes...
And wake up...
Feeling safe again.
I'm still here.
Still breathing.
Still hoping...
Midnight...
Won't own me forever.
(Outro)
(Heartbeat slows.)
Goodnight...
Please...
Be kind tonight...
