In the darkest nights I pray I'll see your ghost and fade away With you I'll spend my brightest days You should've never chose me to haunt You tried so hard to keep me there To grab my hand and tell me that you really cared Don't hold my hand so hard Just step back and watch the carnival start Staring through the smoke at Big Ben The night, oh, the city just began And I won't go home I won't go home I will take my lightest steps To stay away from hopeless breaths Too early for me to rise Too clever for this disguise You should've never chose me to haunt To haunt So hold my hand so hard Just come back and watch the carnival start You and I can't stay apart We can't go home We can't go home Staring through the smoke at Big Ben The night, oh, the city just began And I won't go home I won't go home I won't go home
