i'll walk alone tonight and hold no one's hand
its not at all what i've planned
this rain's colder than it should be in spring
and i can't seem to hear my phone
its not that i don't want to talk to you,
i just can't, not tonight for a while

they said when i'm older
but i still can't find the words
they said be bolder
but i'm still hiding under covers

i wake up alone at night and hold no one's heart
its not at all what i've planned
i always remembered these streets having cars
and i can't seem to answer my phone
its not that i don't want to talk to you,
i just can't, not tonight for a while

they said don't run
and i'm out of breath again
they said time heals all
and i'm watching this clock unwind

i sing alone tonight and hold no one's fire
its not at all what i've planned
remember when we used to be such good friends?
and i pretend i don't see you've called
its just that i don't want to talk to you,
i just can't, not tonight for a while

they said too much
and i never heard a word
they said you'll get burned
and i'm lighting the book in spite

didn't you say don't go away
i want proof that you really cared
didn't you say you'd love me always
so tell me, did time run out?

the moon is still crying blue to the stars
and i'm watching this city go to hell
i'm tired of this war for the coldest of hearts
who will save us from ourselves?
who will save us from ourselves?
who will save us from ourselves?
