Another Night
Break Even Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this the end of everything? / I'm not knowing where I'm going / or even if I'm on the right track / A child in adult shoes without any luck / Watching, time pass me by / Waiting, till its just too late / Wishing, for what I want / Three words all mistakes

So many times before / I've wished, I've watched, I've waited / So many times before / I've wished, I've watched, I've wasted / So much success in their lives / And ill I see in myself / Is someone that I always never wanted to be / Regret from the mistakes I made / The one I never learned from / Is why I'm here today / The worst mistake that I ever made

So sing a song a lullaby to fall asleep safe just one more night / So sing a song a lullaby to fall asleep safe again another night / I'm hoping this night never ends / I'm hoping for a change in who I am

And my time is slowly slipping / AWAY FROM ME / And my time is slow slipping / AWAY FROM ME now / Now what's left do / When so many people / Pass me by in my life / And I'm still standing / On a starting line / To afraid to start a race / That will last me all my life
So sing a song a lullaby to fall asleep safe just one more night / So sing a song a lullaby to fall asleep safe again another night / I'm hoping this night never ends / I'm hoping in a change in who I am


And I know I have to let go / And just forget about all the regrets / The only I will / Move on with my life / Like sand running through my hands / I've learnt to let it all go / LET IT GO / I've learnt to let it all go / Farewell failure / I'm never looking back now / I start a new life today / I left the failure in yesterday
