I don’t know how to save me,
And I know I’ll never be alive,
But there’s something about you baby,
That makes me wanna try.

Day by day,
Night by night,
I fake a smile,
And put out delight.

I know I’ll never be alive,
And I know I’ll never love again,
So I hold out for you baby,
And I learn how to bend.

On one knee I pray to God,
That there will never be an end.
But I know someday baby,
I’ll just be another forgotten trend.

Day by day,
Night by night,
I fake a smile,
And put out delight.

I know I’ll never be alive,
I know my heart’ll never beat again,
So I hold out for you baby,
And I learn how to bend.

I wait until the darkness comes,
And puts out the light,
And then my friendly stranger shows,
Such a wonderful delight.

He smiles and he laughs again,
But I know he’s just a fake.
Because he’s riding a white horse,
And he’s strung out for God’s sake.

Day by day,
Night by night,
I fake a smile,
And put out delight.

I know I’ll never be alive,
And I know I’ll never breathe.
But my heart is yours baby,
Until you decide to leave.
