Night After Night
¤ The Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven sent you to cure this cancer
But for a moment unbeatable chance
For a moment the world in my hands
Like an angel you came
Everytime when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Like and angel you came
Everytime when I screamed
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
'Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Still disconnected
And now protected
Still I'm haunted
But unwanted
But for a moment
Unbreakable stars
For a moment you stayed in my arms
Like an angel you came
Everytime when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Watching me in my sleep
Like and angel you came
Everytime when I scream
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
'Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
'Cause I feel like dying
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
'Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
'Cause I feel like dying
