Hot steamy night alone I wait for you Cold brittle morning alone And I cry for you And when you finally call You cloak your moves in the shadows Chorus: Those days and nights I was good to you They must not have meant very much to you The night I needed you the most My cries fell on deaf ears And I'm running so hard to find it And I'm running so fast And I'm telling you know to leave me Our romance cannot last And if someday I need to see you I'll come back from the past I'll come back and find you I'll never leave you now Chorus Now I don't want to play games with you But I don't know what to say to you The digits change so slowly now I'm going it alone And I'm running so hard to find it And I'm running so fast And I'm telling you now to leave me Our romance cannot last And if someday I need to see you I'll come back from the past I'll come back and find you I'll never leave you now
