You've been runnin' all around in circles
Tryin' to find a purpose that you already had
You've been actin' out a childhood drama
It was learnin' behaviour from your mom and dad (Mom and dad)
If only you could open your eyes, open your eyes
You've been cravin' all the validation
From the people that you swore you'd never become
All of the leeches and breaches and demons
Are givin' you Xanax and drinking your blood
If only you could open your eyes and ask yourself why

Why are you so afraid of my love
Like you don't deserve it?
You know you do, you know you do
'Cause I've been there too

Too busy howling at the Moon
Touching the wolves as they surround you
Wish I could give your head a shake
And bring you home with me tonight
They tell you everything is cool
But they don't give a damn about you
So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone
'Cause you know
Darkness comes before the light
No, no, no more killing time

Mh, or maybe you should spend less time with Mary Jane
Jealously and Hennessy or Novocaine
One too many hangers on the gravy train
I feel like you're forgetting everything
Everythin' about you, everythin' about me
Everythin' about love, there's no love without trust
Look what it's doin' to us
I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna change you
But I don't wanna stand back and watch as they break you
Wish you could see it like I see you, but you're

Too busy howling at the Moon
Touching the wolves as they surround you
Wish I could give your head a shake
And bring you home with me tonight
They tell you everything is cool
But they don't give a damn about you
So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone
'Cause you know
Darkness comes before the light
No, no, no more killing time

Why are you afraid of my love like you don't deserve it?
You know you do, you know you do
'Cause I've been there too

Too busy howling at the Moon
Touching the wolves as they surround you
Wish I could give your head a shake
And bring you home with me tonight
They tell you everything is cool
But they don't give a damn about you
So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone
'Cause you know
Darkness comes before the light
No, no, no more killing time

'Cause you know
Darkness comes before the light
No, no, no more killing time
