The City Sleeps Tonight

You know I was

Mesmerised by all your white lies

That's how it goes

Crossed my heart on our final goodbye

You tied me down when I needed to fly

I hope you know

You'll forever be my virtue my vice

I remember you

Dancing under city lights

We saw September through

But the timing wasn't right

God we tried

Still we lost our fight

I will dream of you

As the city sleeps tonight

As the city sleeps tonight

...

You know I was

Falling for all the things that you said

That's how it goes

I never thought you'd be something I'd regret

You tied me down when I needed to fly

I hope you know

You'll always be my virtue my vice

I remember you

Dancing under city lights

We saw September through

But the timing wasn't right

God we tried

Still we lost our fight

I will dream of you

As the city sleeps tonight
