I almost died
It's a miracle I made it through the night
Did we let go of the one thing that was right?
Now your memory is burning me alive, oh
I play the part
I'm an actor in the movie of my life
Is she gonna know to read between the lines?
'Cause I love you is the weapon of this crime, oh

I need you back
I'm pretending to be happy, but I'm not
I'm a shadow of the hero you forgot
Just another day of waiting for the dark, mm

Before the night, I wanna believe
You'll run, run, run until you come back to me
Before the night, I'm down on my knees
Run, run, run into the air that I breathe

I saw you smile
For a moment I believed it should be mine
But I know you have to move on with your life
I just miss the way you loved me like a child, oh

Is there no silence coming?
It's a sign of the times we live in
I'm scared to death, I hold on tight
Just give me a sign

Before the night, I wanna believe
You'll run, run, run until you come back to me
Before the night, I'm down on my knees
Run, run, run into the air that I breathe
