Lyrics James Morrison

James Morrison

The Only Night

I was young

And I was a victim

Of her killer smile

Her love was cheap

And it was great for a little while

I had to leave

But she wanted me stay

And she ripped up my shirt

And left the marks of her disdain

I couldn't take it no more

I couldn't spend another night alone

I couldn't take it no more

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong

In spending time with you

I'll keep you warm

You'll hold me tight

This might be our only night

I can't give up

No no no no, oh

I tried to reconcile

But it never made a difference

You could cut the atmosphere with a knife

It was so tense and cold

And every time I tried to get little closer to you

You got further and further away from me

Until you faded into the distance

Yes you did

There was nothing I could do

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong

In spending time with you

I'll keep you warm

When you hold me tight

Coz this might be our only night

This might be the only night

I can't spend another night alone

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong

In spending time with you

If this is where we ended up

Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time

If everything I have is gone

Then what is wrong

In spending time with you

Keep me warm and I hold you tight

Coz this might be our only night
