He Belongs to the Night

I fell fast and I fell hard
I saw what's real through the shadows in the dark
He fell slow, but he fell hard
On a concrete road, down the Boulevard
And just like me, he couldn't get up
But he wasn't on love, he was on a drug

He drinks 'til dawn, and it's all that he knows
Here then he's gone, I don't know where he goes
I know I can't keep him and I know it's not right
I know I can't love him, he belongs to the night, yeah
He belongs to the night, yeah

You can't save someone who don't wanna be saved
I know he can't love me, he don't know how to change
Picks up the bottle and I'm struggling again
He needs his addiction, just like I need him

There's something telling me not to walk away
The smoke on his breath, the grin on his face
The sun's gonna come, and you're not gonna stay
See you tomorrow night, we'll do the same damn thing

He drinks 'til dawn, and it's all that he knows
Here then he's gone, I don't know where he goes
I know I can't keep him and I know it's not right
I know I can't love him, he belongs to the night, yeah
He belongs to the night, yeah

He drinks 'til dawn, and it's all that he knows
Here then he's gone, I don't know where he goes
I know I can't keep him and I know it's not right
I know I can't love him, he belongs to the night, yeah
He belongs to the night, yeah

I fell fast and I fell hard
I saw what's real through the shadows in the dark
