One more night my eyes reflect the light In the distance something bright appears One more day it’s too hard to explain What goes on in my brain is not clear Someone better hurry I’m all alone And I keep breaking down Breaking down, you know? No one ever taught me to be on my own Yeah and I keep breaking down Breaking down, you know? So hold on one more night Hold out one more day Hold on one more night Hold out one more day There’ll be one more night and things will be made right Again I’ll hold you tight my dear One more day and I’ll collect my pay And soon be far away from here
