I always keep my guard up high
I built a wall, I tried to keep you off my mind
And in the day you never show
But it's during the night that I can never let you go
I wish that I told you, I wish that I told you
But I let it slide
I wish I could show you, I wish I could show you
While you were by my side
The weight on my shoulders when you're not around
Is pulling me down, down, down
Oh, I can't lie
When all of these lights are low
I see the afterglow
And all of those times I hope
I'd only hold you closer
Every day I still pretend that
You're never coming back again
But it's during these nights I'd never let you go
I'm tired of all these sleepless nights, mhm
I close my eyes and tell myself I'm doing fine
And in the day, you'd never know, oh, oh
During the night, I'd never, ever let you go
I wish that I told you, I wish that I told you
But I let it slide
I wish I could show you, I wish I could show you
While you were by my side
The weight on my shoulders when you're not around
Is pulling me down, down, down
Oh, I can't lie
When all of these lights are low
I see the afterglow
And all of those times I hope
I'd only hold you closer
Every day I still pretend that
You're never coming back again
But it's during these nights I'd never let you go
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
But it's during these nights I'd never let you go
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da (mhm)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da (I'd never let you go)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da (yeah)
It's during these nights I'd never let you go
