Lyrics
STAYED ALL NIGHT
Verse:
I spent so long sitting here thinking aloud
But I?m trapped inside my own mind
And there?s no room to breathe
And I?m tired of being told there?s nothing you can do
Am I chasing down a meaningless pursuit?
Chorus:
I stayed all night
looking for the answers in the sky
All night
But nothing came and nothing passed me by
It?s alright, its alright
Verse:
I made a choice ? I figured out what I needed to lose
Here comes the pain ? hurry up don?t wanna feel the sting
I tell myself I?m really through this time
I won?t go back I won?t go there again
Chorus
Bridge: Why this? Why now? Why ever? (x2)
Chorus
