Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You've been runnin' all around in circles

Tryin' to find a purpose that you already had

You've been actin' out a childhood drama

It was learnin' behaviour from your mom and dad (Mom and dad)

If only you could open your eyes, open your eyes

You've been cravin' all the validation

From the people that you swore you'd never become

All of the leeches and breaches and demons

Are givin' you Xanax and drinkin' your blood

If only you could open your eyes and ask yourself why

[PreChorus]

Why are you so afraid of my love

Like you don't deserve it?

You know you do, you know you do

'Cause I've been there too

[Chorus]

Too busy howlin' at the moon

To see the wolves as they surround you

Wish I could give your hand a shake

And bring you home with me tonight

They tell you everythin' is cool

But they don't give a damn about you (About you)

So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone

'Cause you know

Darkness comes before the light

No, no, no more killin' time

[Verse 2]

Mm, well, maybe you should spend less time with Mary Jane

Jealously and Hennessy or Novocaine (Oh no)

One too many hangers on the gravy train

I feel like that you're forgettin' everything

Everythin' about you, everythin' about me

Everythin' about love, there's no love without trust

Look what it's doin' to us

I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna change you

But I don't wanna stand back and watch as they break you

Wish you could see it like I see you, but you're

[Chorus]

Too busy howlin' at the moon

To see the wolves as they surround you

Wish I could give your hand a shake

And bring you home with me tonight

They tell you everythin' is cool

But they don't give a damn about you (They don't give a damn)

So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone

'Cause you know

Darkness comes before the light

No, no, no more killin' time

[Bridge]

Why are you so afraid of my love

Like you don't deserve it?

You know you do, you know you do

'Cause I've been there too

[Chorus]

Too busy howlin' at the moon

To see the wolves as they surround you

Wish I could give your head a shake

And bring you home with me tonight (With me tonight)

They tell you everythin' is cool

But they don't give a damn about you

So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone

'Cause you know

Darkness comes before the light

No, no, no more killin' time

[Instrumental]

'Cause you know

Darkness comes before the light

No, no, no more killin' time
