(Yeah...)
Late again... same parking lot
Same mistakes... different day
(Where'd you go?)

Remember when we said forever? That was last June
Now I'm sittin' in the dark, watchin' the moon
You took the dog, took the keys, took the whole living room
Left a note on the fridge, said "I'll see you soon"
But you never came back, and I don't blame you
I was always on tour, always had an excuse
Now the silence in the house is the only thing that's true
Late night in the city, what else is new?
(Ooh... ooh...)
---
Late night, same old story
Was it me? Was it you? Both feelin' sorry
I was reachin' for the stars, you was reachin' for the door
Now I'm textin' your old number like before
Late night, can't sleep no more
Every love song on the radio feels like a war
I deleted all the pictures, but I still see your face
Late night in the city, such a lonely place

My therapist said "let it go," I said "let me call her first"
She said "that's the addiction talkin', that'll make it worse"
But she don't know you like I know you, she don't know the curse
Of lovin' someone who loves leavin' in a hearse
I been drinkin' less, but dreamin' more
You show up in all of 'em, knockin' at my door
Then I wake up sweatin', reach across the bed
Feel the cold side of the pillow where you used to lay your head
(Why... why...)
---
---
(I know you're never gonna hear this...)
But I gotta say it anyway
(I'm sorry...)
For all the nights I chose the stage over your birthday
For every time I said "one more song" when you asked me to stay
Yeah... I know it's too late
---
My friends say I should hate you, make it easier to breathe
But hate ain't never healed nobody, hate ain't what I need
I just wish I held you different, wish I learned to read
The signs you were leavin' before you actually left me
Now I'm writin' songs about you, that's the only way you live
In the space between the kick drum and the synth
Late night in the city, wonderin' where you been
And if you ever think about me, even just a little bit
---Late again... same parking lot...
(Where'd you go?)
I deleted all the pictures... but I still see your face...
(Fade...)
(Ooh... ooh...)
(Late night...)
