Tell Me This Night Is Over - The Ark

Why should it be so bad to be bad

When it’s so hard to be anything at all?

And why does everyone seem to forget

What it’s like to be all alone

— As soon as they

Have got someone, oh it’s no fun

It makes me wanna vanish and die

Maybe I’ll throw all my clothes

Into a waterfall

And sit and spy while they all cry

— You get so silly when you’re lonely

And you think that you’re the only

Who’ll say:

I hope that someone’s gonna call

And tell me this night is over

'Cause I wanna start living my life

Before I get much older

Maybe you all would consider it a joke

If I say that I hate myself

But now and then

When I look into the mirror

All I see is a big mistake

(And wouldn’t you)

Well, I just wanna be fun

Just wanna be the one

Who makes you smile

I just wanna believe

That I could be something to someone

— Am I the only one around here

Who’s not gonna live my life in fear?

I hope that someone’s gonna call

And tell me this night is over

'Cause I wanna start living my life

Before I get much older

(- I don’t understand you!)

— And why would you?

(- Can you tell me

What is on your mind?)

— I don’t have words to say

How much I think I owe you

— We ain’t gonna live our lives in fear…
