Say Anything - Into The Night Lyrics

if i was a fly
and i had a day left til i died 
i would lay down til tomorrow 
you’re clipping my wings 
i try to win you back 
with all my words that you know mean nothing

you could have believed in me 

and i 
saw a tear 
on a rose
and i swept it off for you 
as i gag
on my guts 
cause i’m watching you give up 
im a tear
in the clock
as you walk away 
i can almost taste the glaze
on your lips 
smacking away
into the night 

they say
at least he’s my friend 
he’ll treat you kindly in the end 
call me bitter 
but i'm brimming with hate for both of you 
a film is playing in my head
of you fornicating in his bed 
the satin sheets are ruby red 
like your nails that scarred my back 

and i 
saw a tear 
on a rose 
so i clipped it off for you 
i’m a fly
on a wall 
and i’m watching you give up 
i’m a tear
in the clock 
as you walk away 
i can almost see a shade 
of your blue eyes 
fading away 
into the night.

you never believed in me 
but i will believe in me 

now i 
take a match 
to the rose 
that i gave, my love, to you 
won’t forgive 
won’t forget 
and the rage will lift me up 
i hope you choke on his tongue 
as i walk away i will not watch his hands 
as they deaftly pull you away 
into the night.
