[Verse 1]
I will come to you
In the still of the night
And I will crush you
With the burden of sight
And you will understand
The shadows in my heart
The fury of my conviction
Will cause your heart to quicken
And then, my dear
You will see you want me here

[Chorus]
When you wake up
You'll see yourself through my eyes
And when you break up
You'll understand
Why it is I cry

[Verse 2]
Let me speak quietly
So your heart can hear
I will hypnotize and mesmerize you
With the sound of your own fear

[Chorus]
When you wake up
You'll see yourself through my eyes
And when you break up
You'll understand
Why it is I cry

[Bridge]
I just wanna get along
This is your song
I wrote it in my head
But the melody's all wrong
And it's driving me crazy
Not having you, baby
To keep me company
In my own private world
You're my one true girl
And I won't be stoppin'
Just 'cause your knees are knockin'
When I decide to drop in
So don't make a sound
'Cause there's no one around
To come between us now
I'm gonna haunt you, girl

[Chorus]
And when you wake up
You will finally see yourself
Ooh, you'll see yourself through my eeys
And when you break up
Oh, oh, you will realize why it is I cry

[Outro]
Come to you
In the still of the night
