this is about the rest of us the ones you left behind we had no notion of all your wicked crimes we are the ones you told your kids of before you went to sleep what you didn t say was how you thought we were weak and then come to me in the dead of night and i convince myself it ll be alright and when you hold me close as the night unfolds and i convince myself how we ll grow old and when you come to me in the dead of night and i convince myself it ll be alright i used to sit alone and watch your cities rise it flashed across my mind the murder in your eye are you the one we fear and talk of when we try to sleep the man who helped himself and never skipped a beat and then come to me in the dead of night and i convince myself it ll be alright and when you hold me close as the night unfolds and i convince myself we ll grow old and when you come to me in the dead of night and i convince myself it ll be alright there is no point replacing there is no point in chasing there is no point defacing there is no point erasing you and when you come to me in the dead of night and i convince myself it ll be alright and when you hold me close as the night unfolds and i convince myself how we ll grow old and when you come to me in the dead of night and i convince myself we re alright
