The shadows tremble as your laughter fades I saw you turning in the crowded haze You looked so radiant with me far behind Until your gaze met mine — a crack in time And from your lashes fell a silver trace A quiet sorrow you tried to erase I keep retreating though I long to stay I leave you wounded when I run away Why do I flee into the night Knowing it shatters all your light You never asked me why I let you bleed You never spoke of how you lost your peace You walked right past me like I’d turned to stone Pretending coldly you were not undone Why do I flee into the night Knowing it shatters all your light Call me back — I swear I’d stay But save your tears for another day Save your tears for a dawn reborn Save your tears for a world less torn I made you trust that I would never fade But then my tongue betrayed the vows I’d made I crushed your heart the way mine once was crushed And now your love for me has turned to dust Why do I flee into the night Knowing it shatters all your light Take me back — I’d choose to stay But save your tears for another day I know I’m late, too late to mend You deserve more than I could ever give again Save your tears for a dawn reborn Save your tears for a world less torn Still I keep fleeing through the night Leaving you crying out of sight Save your tears for a brighter day Save your tears — let the darkness fade Save your tears for a dawn reborn Save your tears for a world less torn
