Before the night comes, before the city sleeps
I walk a lonely mile
I know you're out there, I know you're
Waiting for me to make a sign
I know you'd like me to go and crumble
Reveal myself to you
I lost a wing and, and grew a shell on the wound
Oh, so soon
And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me
Hot on my heals but I move too fast
I know you think
That I would make good company at last
You always come 'round after your good friend
Love has gone and run a ground
A heart in shambles, oh, it's just what you need
Your purpose found
You turn the lights down, you draw the curtains
You put the candle off
Come over here, sit down, tell me your troubles
We'll sing a sadder song
And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me
Hot on my heals but I move too fast
I know you think
That I would make good company at last
I'm free to wander so get up off of your knees
And find some other fool
Someone to hold you when you've got no one to tease
It won't be me
'Cause heartbreak, no, you can't catch me
Hot on my heals but I move too fast
I know you think
That I would make good company at last
