Say Anything - Into the Night Lyrics

if i was a fly
and i had a day left til i died
i would lay down til tomorrow
you're clipping my wings
i try to win you back
with all my words that you know mean nothing

you could have believed in me

and i
saw a tear
on a rose
and i swept it off for you
as i gag
on my guts
cause i'm watching you give up
im a tear
in the clock
as you walk away
i can almost taste the glaze
on your lips
smacking away
into the night

they say
at least he's my friend
he'll treat you kindly in the end
call me bitter
but i'm brimming with hate for both of you
a film is playing in my head
of you fornicating in his bed
the satin sheets are ruby red
like your nails that scarred my back

and i
saw a tear
on a rose
so i clipped it off for you
i'm a fly
on a wall
and i'm watching you give up
i'm a tear
in the clock
as you walk away
i can almost see a shade
of your blue eyes
fading away
into the night.

you never believed in me
but i will believe in me

now i
take a match
to the rose
that i gave, my love, to you
won't forgive
won't forget
and the rage will lift me up
i hope you choke on his tongue
as i walk away i will not watch his hands
as they deaftly pull you away
into the night.
