You only get one chance at happiness
That's if you're luckier than most
If you miss that chance you'll spend your lifetime
Searching for a ghost
You might not see it right away
You might not even try
To build a castle to protect
The one who's standing by your side
So let me hold you close even though your mind is far away
Let me look into your eyes and pretend you're gonna stay
Let me have you tonight before I give you away
Let me drown in the madness and pretend I'm OK
Because tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
You'll be gone
The light that shines the brightest
Is the one that burns out first
Left you surrounded by the darkness
Cold and stumbling, torn and hurt
The one you care about the most
The one slowly slipping away
Escapes between your fingers
Like the sand you can't contain
So let me hold you close even though your mind is far away
Let me look into your eyes and pretend you're gonna stay
Let me have you tonight before I give you away
Let me drown in the madness and pretend I'm OK
Because tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
You'll be gone
So let me hold you close even though your mind is far away
Let me look into your eyes and pretend you're gonna stay
Let me have you tonight before I give you away
Let me drown in the madness and pretend I'm OK
Because tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
You'll be gone
Because tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
You'll be gone
