You come to me with Scars on your wrist. You tell me this will be the last night Feeling like this. I just came to say good bye Didn't want you to see me cry I'm fine But I know it's a lie This is the last night You'll spend alone Look me in the eyes So I know you know I'm everywhere You want me to be The last night You'll spend alone I'll wrap you in my arms And I won't let go I'm everything You need me to be Your parents say Everything is your fault But they don't know you like I know you They don't know you at all I'm so sick of when they say "Its just a phase you'll be ok You're fine" But I know it's a lie This is the last night You'll spend alone Look me in the eyes So I know you know I'm everywhere You want me to be (The last night Away from me) The night is so long when Everything's wrong If you give me your hand I will help you hold on Tonight Tonight This is the last night You'll spend alone Look me in the eyes So I know you know I'm everywhere You want me to be I won't let you say goodbye And I'll be your reason why The last night Away from me Away from me
