  • Oh, I'm no temptress
    But I'm no angel either
    And it feels good to be a stranger
    No-one can judge me
    I'm like the new outsider
    Guess I should welcome this new change

    Come and take a seat, let's talk it over
    I don't want to keep you in the dark

    Go on ahead and bring me the roses
    It's almost time for me to be going
    I'm so afraid that I might be led astray
    Nothing can save me when the night kills the day

    You think I'm crazy
    You think I made a big mistake
    Who am I to question fate

    I don't want to have to cut you loose but
    I don't want to make a sacrifice

    Go on ahead and bring me the roses
    It's almost time for me to be going
    I'm so afraid that I might be led astray

    How will I know to pull on the ropes and
    It doesn't seem like anything's over
    Nothing can save me when the night kills the day
    Here comes the night it's taking me over
    Here comes the night it's taking me over

    Go on ahead and bring me the roses
    It's almost time for me to be going
    I'm so afraid that I might be led astray
    How will I know to pull on the ropes and
    It doesn't seem like anything's over

    Nothing can save me when the night kills the day. Writer/s: ED HARCOURT, LAUREN PRITCHARD
