Late Nights

Late Nights

Late nights on the cold tile

Wish I could stay a while

Crying tears, cause the pain hurts

But you let me off the hook

Blubbering what's in my soul

Letting go of bottle's contents

You held my hair, then pulled me close

And I will not forget

That moment in time

What I should regret

I let you inside

Still fighting for the next step

Late nights with the city lights

I overstayed

I should've been gone yesterday

You hate being alone

I was searching for a home

Knew that we could become

What we were denied the first times

And I will not forget

That moment in time

What I should regret

In me you confided

Still fighting for the next step

Still fighting

No crying at all

Terrifying what I'm learning

But I'm not mad at all

And I will not forget

That moment in time

What I should regret

I've been doing quite alright

Still steady taking next step
