Burning Up The Night
Lyrics
Ever since you left
Everything has changed
We'll never be the same again
This place has seemed so strange
I needed to get out of here
There's sadness in this town
But every time I moved away
It's followed me around
And I don't need a song to sing
I don't need anything at all
I don't even need to dance
I can just stand with my back against the wall
So I can see the way you feel
So I can know the thoughts that run through your mind
I wasn't giving up on you
You used to seem impossible to deny
Tell me there's a reason why I'm here
I need to believe it
Here I go again
Burning up the night
Even though I couldn't resist
I told myself I could
And hoped to God I always felt like this
She can't decide if I'm a king or trash
She loves me for the Johnny
But she hates me for the Cash
And you can only take so much
If you could see the way I feel
If you could know the thoughts that run through my mind
I wasn't giving up on you
It used to seem impossible to deny
Tell me there's a reason why I'm here
I need to believe it
Here I go again
Burning up the night
You can't escape the morning
When there's someone on your mind
I been doing this for years now
And can't break any ground
And I don't know what to do but keep on moving on
Wouldn't I be your shoulder?
Wouldn't I have broken your fall?
Does it still hurt?
Now that you're older have you healed at all?
Here I go again
Burning up the night
You can't escape the morning
When there's someone on your mind
A man can feel like he's in hell
When he doesn't want to be
In a place where what's inside of him
Is all that's left to see
Ever since you left
Everything has changed
We'll never be the same again
This place has seemed so strange
I needed to get out of here
There's sadness in this town
But every time I moved away
It's followed me around
And I don't need a song to sing
I don't need anything at all
I don't even need to dance
I can just stand with my back against the wall
So I can see the way you feel
So I can know the thoughts that run through your mind
I wasn't giving up on you
You used to seem impossible to deny
Tell me there's a reason why I'm here
I need to believe it
Here I go again
Burning up the night
Even though I couldn't resist
I told myself I could
And hoped to God I always felt like this
She can't decide if I'm a king or trash
She loves me for the Johnny
But she hates me for the Cash
And you can only take so much
If you could see the way I feel
If you could know the thoughts that run through my mind
I wasn't giving up on you
It used to seem impossible to deny
Tell me there's a reason why I'm here
I need to believe it
Here I go again
Burning up the night
You can't escape the morning
When there's someone on your mind
I been doing this for years now
And can't break any ground
And I don't know what to do but keep on moving on
Wouldn't I be your shoulder?
Wouldn't I have broken your fall?
Does it still hurt?
Now that you're older have you healed at all?
Here I go again
Burning up the night
You can't escape the morning
When there's someone on your mind
A man can feel like he's in hell
When he doesn't want to be
In a place where what's inside of him
Is all that's left to see
