Midnight, Streetlight, shadows touch your face
Whisper "good night", though I want you so to stay
[Chorus]
I'm standing on a hardline, taking my sweet time
Praying that you'll see why and slowly change
I'm fighting on the front line
victim of a hard crime
can't just let you steal mine away
Listen, reasons, never will explain
Freedom is just a safe time,
'till I'm strong enough to bend and not break
(Chorus)
Well I need your touch, don't give up
Don't shut me down, I'll open up
If you just try to love me
I'm standing on a hardline, victim of a hard crime
can't just let you steal mine, away.
