Lyrics
Tell me how long have I've been running
Running away from you
All this fire in our hands ] can´t get this part right!
Tell me how long has this been turning
Turning into red
All the tears that have been
I don't wanna wait til you're gone
Tell you how things that are _______(?????)
I dont have to be right this time
Chorus:
If you tell me that I'm wrong
Then I'm wrong
We've been fighting for too long
It's to late tonigh to call this the end
You know that I belong in yor arms
We've been out here all along
And I don't wanna loose you again
So goodnight Elizabeth
Goodnight Elizabeth
Verse:
Tell me how long have we've been fighting
Fighting for a reason
We can have a hole in our hands ] can't get this exactly...
Tell me how long have we've been riding
Riding down those streets ]
Where the fall sunset ends ] don't know if this is right...but sounded nice.
Pre-Chorus:
I don't wanna wait til you're gone
Tell you all the things that are ______(?????)
I dont have to be right this time
Chorus:
If you tell me that I'm wrong
Then I'm wrong
We've been fighting for too long
It's to late tonigh to call this the end
You know that I belong in yor arms
I've been out here on my own ] this part is differente from the first one.
And I don't wanna loose you again
So goodnight Elizabeth
Goodnight Elizabeth
Bridge:
I can't just go away
Like it was all a mistake
This is how you pray
Repeat last Chorus
