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, grew a shell on the wound Oh, so soon And heartbreak, no, you can't catch me Hot on my heels 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 well 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 heels 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 heels but I move too fast I know you think That I would make good company at last
