[Verse 1]
You have the soul of an old hero
You bury your battles deep inside
You have a soul of an old hero
And I see the strength that's in your eyes
You fight to the end of a war you wrote
The scar on your heart is Gemini
All of fatigue and a moral code
And I'm at ease in your arms tonight
[Chorus]
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
See another morning
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
See another morning
[Verse 2]
You have the hands of an old hero, eh
Already have a hold on mine
I feel like I met you long ago, hm
I am at ease in your arms tonight
[Chorus]
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
See another morning
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
You don't have to go tonight
See another morning
[Bridge]
Oh, I've been waiting
Oh, I've been waiting
Oh, I've been waiting
For someone to show
You're gonna save me, yeah
You're gonna save me
You're gonna save me
Over and over
[Chorus]
You don't have to go tonight
(Give me one more)
You don't have to go tonight (Just give me one more)
You don't have to go tonight (Give me one more)
See another morning
You don't have to go tonight
(Give me one more)
You don't have to go tonight (Just give me one more)
You don't have to go tonight (Give me one more)
See another morning
[Outro]
(Go tonight, go tonight)
(Go tonight, go tonight, go tonight)
