I'll melt your words into thoughts and worries
Swallow my tongue in a sigh
Salty taste, my eyes shut
So give me courage to lead through this stormy night
This last night of the year
For tears and weary eyes
And oh, the things I do to myself
Oh, like I'm punishing someone else
When all I do is keep losing myself

I ran through the city
In the blistering cold
Followed by the neon lights
Run, run faster, should have known
There's no escape from your ghosts on a New Year's night
This last sigh of the year
And no fireworks in sight
But all the things I do to myself
Oh, like I'm acting as someone else
When all I do is keep losing myself

This is the last night of a sorry lie
This is the last night of the second life
You need to grow and learn to love what you've earned
This is the last night of a sorry lie
This is the last night of the second life
You need to grow and learn to love what you've earned
Oh, the things I do to myself
Oh, I keep blaming everyone else
When all I do is keep fooling myself

(Run, run faster)

This is the last night of a sorry lie
This is the last night of the second life
So run, run faster, my friend
