When the Night Falls
Dominick Weeks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you know
That I hate being alone
I'm trynna call
But you always decline
What's going on?
Don't play these games with my heart
'Cause you know, you know, you know
I don't want you to go
Don't you do this to me
I'm way too cold
I want you close to me
Thinking about the way
The way it used to be
I want you to know
If you runaway
Please remember my name, woah
One day it will be okay
But only that's what
What they trynna say
'Cause I won't be okay without you
No, I won't be okay
When the night falls
I can't fall a sleep without you
Demons all around, they want me to go
I'm so scared, going out of my mind
I'm calling your name
I hope you gonna be here soon
I don't even know
What's left of me at all
I gave it all to you
But all you did is push me away
I'm slowly drowning
Yeah, I'm drifting away, away, away from the shore
Oh no, I never thought
That you will disappear like this
Oh, where you at?
You left the emptiness inside
Inside my heart
I don't even know
If I can take this pain any longer
One day it will be okay
But only that's what
What they trynna say
'Cause I won't be okay without you
No, I won't be okay
When the night falls
I can't fall a sleep without you
Demons all around, they want me to go
I'm so scared, going out of my mind
I'm calling your name
I hope you gonna be here soon
When the night falls
I can't fall a sleep without you
Demons all around, they want me to go
I'm so scared, going out of my mind




I'm calling your name
I hope you gonna be here soon
