How long
How long have you
Been fighting
The demons you see
Don’t lie
Show me
I’ll be here
'Til the new sun has dawned
Show me
All of your pain tonight
We’ll fight a war for you tonight
Because your star it burned too bright
But I hold on to you tonight
No I’m not losing you tonight
Let go
Let go my friend
Let go
Let go my friend
Hello, hello my friend
How long
How long have you
Been fighting these demons you see
Don’t lie, don’t lie
We’ll fight a war for you tonight
Because your star it burned too bright
But I hold on to you tonight
No I’m not losing you tonight
Let go
Don’t let go my friend
Let go
Don’t let go my friend
My world aches for the person you’ve been tonight
Tonight, tonight
Let go
Don’t let go my friend
Let go
Won’t let go my friend
My world aches for the person you’ve been
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
So long, so long my friend
So long, to the person you’ve been
