One Night
If I've done all I can do And I still can't be with you Should suicide ensue? No I'm far too dramatic In the emphatic words I say Its emblematic of static In the songs that we play Why must it always End in cliche Am I not more than this? Am I such a bore to kiss That you would be remiss to miss me? Am I nothing more than this? A blister from your bliss A bluster To fluster your flight Am I nothing more than this? Am I only worth one night?
