In the darkest nights I pray
I'll see your ghost and fade away
With you I'll spend my brightest days
You should've never chose me to haunt
You tried so hard to keep me there
To grab my hand and tell me that you really cared
Don't hold my hand so hard
Just step back and watch the carnival start
Staring through the smoke at Big Ben
The night, oh, the city just began
And I won't go home
I won't go home
I will take my lightest steps
To stay away from hopeless breaths
Too early for me to rise
Too clever for this disguise
You should've never chose me to haunt
To haunt
So hold my hand so hard
Just come back and watch the carnival start
You and I can't stay apart
We can't go home
We can't go home
Staring through the smoke at Big Ben
The night, oh, the city just began
And I won't go home
I won't go home
I won't go home
