The Weeknd After Hours
Thought I almost died in my dream again (Baby, almost died) Fightin' for my life, I couldn't breathe again I'm fallin' in too deep (Oh, oh) Without you, I can't sleep (Fallin' in) 'Cause my heart belongs to you I'll risk it all for you I want you next to me This time, I'll never leave I wanna share babies Protection, we won't need Your body next to me Is just a memory I'm fallin' in too deep, oh Without you, I can't sleep Insomnia relieve, oh Talk to me, without you, I can't breathe My darkest hours Girl, I felt so alone inside of this crowded room Different girls on the floor, distractin' my thoughts of you I turned into the man I used to be, to be Put myself to sleep Just so I can get closer to you inside my dreams Didn't wanna wake up 'less you were beside me I just wanted to call you and say, and say Oh, baby Where are you now when I need you most? I'd give it all just to hold you close Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart Never comin' down, uh I was running away from facin' reality, uh Wastin' all of my time out living my fantasies Spendin' money to compensate, compensate 'Cause I want you, baby, uh I be livin' in heaven when I'm inside of you It was simply a blessing wakin' beside you I'll never let you down again, again Oh, baby Where are you now when I need you most? I'd give it all just to hold you close Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart I said, baby I'll treat you better than I did before I'll hold you down and not let you go This time, I won't break your heart, your heart, yeah I know it's all my fault Made you put down your guard I know I made you fall Then said you were wrong for me I lied to you, I lied to you, I lied to you (To you) Can't hide the truth, I'd stay with her in spite of you You did some things that you regret, still ride for you 'Cause this house is not a home Without my baby Where are you now when I need you most? I gave it all just to hold you close Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart And I said, baby I'll treat you better than I did before I'll hold you down and not let you go This time, I won't break your heart, your heart, no
