Scared Tonight
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if there's no tomorrow?
What if we're standing still?
I'll try to find the way
And against your will.

And if your heart's not breakin',
Just give it precious time.
I'll try to find the reasons
Between your lies.

Don't cry for me.
There's no more tomorrows.
Don't need your sympathy.

Are you scared tonight?
You have chosen your life
Don't change it.
Have you seen the light?
He is waiting at your door.

Respect in repetition.
Realize you're wasting time.
Look back on all the years
You thought you tried.
So take another number,
And get a spot in line.
You're moving up the ladder,
Enjoy your climb.

Don't cry for me.
There's no more tomorrows.
Don't need your sympathy.

Are you scared tonight?
You have chosen your life
Don't change it.




Have you seen the light?
He is waiting at your door. (x4)
