You live by night
And waste the day
You give yourself
You give yourself away

I know that when you started
You liked the way you felt
And yes I understand you
But to everybody else

It's black and white
To you it's grey
You know I'll love you anyway

But it seems to me you're living on the run
But I hope you know you're not the only one

Who lives by night
Lives by night
They're only trying to chase away the sun

And when you play
The way you do
The sun don't shine
The same way for you

And you say you don't abuse it
But baby I can tell
We both know what the truth is
But to everybody else

It's black and white
It's night and day
You know I'll love you anyway

But it seems to me you're living on the run
And now you know you're not the only one

Who lives by night
Lives by night
We're only trying to chase away the sun

We, we were so intimate
You, you were so into it
But they, they pulled you in

And now that they're gone
We're only trying to work out what went wrong

You live by night
Live by night
But you're only trying to chase away the sun
