They say it's darkest before the dawn,
And without you here, dawn has come and gone.
I would spend an eternity at your side if it meant I could keep you safe tonight.

You don't believe me, any of the words I say.
You don't hear anything behind the lie.
You pretend you're okay while it eats you up inside.
Well I'd spend an eternity at your side
Just to keep you safe tonight.

I can feel your heart breaking,
The silence broken by your tears.
I can hear your crying,
Lost in your fears.
I let you down for the last time,
And it seems even an eternity won't be enough tonight.
