Glen Burtnik - Hold Back The Night Lyrics

She got away quick
She always leaves them guessing
The first time it's a trick
The second time it's a lesson

I've got the rest of my life
To get over her now
And I sit all alone in my room
Wondering how

Hold back the night
There's no place that's safe to go
Hold back the night
Take it away
Turn out the light
It's getting too hard to see
This darkness is killing me
Hold back the night

Don't want to sleep
Don't want to dream
Got nothing to say
About the things I have seen

I've got the rest of my life
I'm holding tight
All I need right now is a little more time

So hold back the night
There's no place that's safe to go
Hold back the night
Take it away
Turn out the light
It's getting too hard to see
This darkness is killing me
Hold back the night

'Cause the shadows are holding me
And all I can hear is the beat of a heart
All I can see is the daylight slipping away
Slipping away

I've got the rest of my life
I'll do alright
Oh

Hold back the night
There's no place that's safe to go
Hold back the night
Take it away
Turn out the light
It's getting too hard to see
This darkness is killing me
Hold back the night

Hold back the night
Oh
Hold back the night
I've got the rest of my life
Hold back the night
Yeah
Hold back the night
