The Night Has No Mercy
Haunted by a heartless moon
I know the morning won't come too soon
So I count the shadows as they fall
And tell my troubles to the wall
I always thought that time was on my side
But ever since you said goodbye
The night has no mercy
It keeps dragging on I'm begging for the dawn
But the night has no mercy
It won't let me forget you're gone
Lyin' in this bed tonight
I pretend your body's next to mine
Then I remember how it used to be
When I held more than a memory
So I pray for sleep to ease my mind
But for the one love leaves behind
The night has no mercy
It keeps dragging on I'm begging for the dawn
But the night has no mercy
It won't let me forget you're gone
(Bridge)
Here in this empty room there's no where the truth can hide
I'm guilty of still loving you minute by minute I pay the price
I'll never be free as long as long as
The night has no mercy
It keeps dragging on I'm begging I'm begging for
The night have a little mercy
It won't let me forget you're gone
It won't let me forget you're gone
