Into the Night

[Verse 1]
If I was a fly
And I had a day left ‘til I die
I would lay down 'til tomorrow
You're clipping my wings
I try to win you back
With all my words that you know mean nothing

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You could have believed in me
You could have believed in me

[Chorus 1]
And I saw a tear on a rose
And I swept it off for you
As I gag on my guts
'Cause I'm watching you give up
I'm a tear in the clock
As you walk away, I can almost taste the glaze
On your lips smacking away
Into the night

[Verse 2]
They say, at least he's my friend
And he'll treat you kindly in the end
Call me bitter but I'm
Brimming with hate for both of you
A film is playing in my head
Of you fornicating in his bed
The satin sheets are ruby red
Like your nails that scarred my back, and

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You could have believed in me, baby
You could have believed in me

[Chorus 2]
And I saw a tear on a rose
So I clipped it off for you
I'm a fly on a wall
And I'm watching you give up
I'm a tear in the clock
As you walk away, I can almost see a shade
Of your blue eyes fading away
Into the night

[Pre-Chorus 3]
You never believed in me
But I will believe in me

[Chorus 3]
Now I take a match to the rose
That I gave, my love, to you
Won't forgive, won't forget
And the rage will lift me up
Hope you choke on his tongue
As I walk away, I will not watch his hands
As they deftly pull you away
Into the night
Into the night, oh...
