Lyrics

I used to hate the night

Night was my sworn enemy

I can't believe how much it frightened me

It brought unwanted thoughts and memories

Now I look at dusk impatiently

Hurry, twilight, I need to see the stars

And here you are, the night brings you

I used to pray for dreamless sleep to deliver me to morning

I can't believe how much I used to sleep

Now I'd give up sleep forever

To make night a moment longer

Because night brings you

When I'm with you, I lose myself, become myself

I don't know where you begin and where I end

If I could stay, I swear I'd never sleep again

I'd give up sleep to be with you

The night brings you

Stay

I can't

Why do you always have to go?

Can I tell you something?

You can tell me anything

You say that now

We've told each other so many things

More than I've told anyone

What can't you tell me?

Tell me something first

I love you

That's no secret
