[Verse 1]
There's no second chances
No time for romances, oh, oh
No consequence weighing
His heart left decaying, oh, oh
He's lost in his thinking
Disguised by his drinking, oh, oh
No regret or falling
No well wishers calling, oh, oh
[Chorus]
And when he sleeps, I hope he's okay
But when he drinks, he hits on you
And when he sleeps, I know he's okay
Cause when he dreams, he's someone new
[Verse 2]
The pain of desire
Is quenched by the fire, oh, oh
No inkling of caring
He's grief striken, staring, oh, oh
No blood loss or feeling
As smoke hits the ceiling, oh, oh
He sips down his sorrow
And prays "no tomorrow," oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
But when he sleeps, I hope he's okay
But when he drinks, he hits on you
And when he sleeps, I know he's okay
Cause when he dreams, he's someone new
[Bridge]
I love you, Alexander
I love you, Alexander
I love you, Alexander
I love you, Alexander
We'll be together forever
[Refrain]
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for love
It's all for
[Chorus]
And when he sleeps, I hope he's okay
But when he drinks, he hits on you
And when he sleeps, I know he's okay
Cause when he dreams, he's someone new, oh
[Outro]
No hearing her laughter
For in the hereafter, oh
He's handsome, well-spoken
His heart can't be broken, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Goodnight, Alexander
Goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight (goodnight)
