Like Morning Follows Night - Jeff Williams, Lamar Hall

You don’t know what it’s like to live in shadows

Always regretting what you’ve done

Spending time counting every little mistake

Knowing it’s always easier to run

You don’t have to spend your life looking backwards

We’ve been through this over and over again

You can’t just wish it away

The past is the past it will never change

That was before, this is now

And when we have a chance to make it better if we try

Oh, but I will not endanger one more friend

You’re free to do the things you want

But listen, so am I I made my choice

And now I’m making mine

Go where you need to Know I won’t leave you

I’ll follow you like morning follows night

You can run till your pain’s through

One thing I won’t do Is to let you go alone to face the fight!

Hard to know where to turn when your life’s a disaster

Trying to start all over again

So much shame, so much time that just feels wasted

Feeling like now could never make up for then

Life’s not a game you can play to get even

We all make mistakes, but we need to move on I know that you hate where you strayed

Forgiving yourself is the only way

Just look ahead, yesterday is gone

I know you think you’re being selfless, but you’re not

I refuse to risk another’s pain again

The pain is when you shut me out

Take off on your own

No matter what

You’ll never walk alone

Go where you need to Know I won’t leave you

I’ll follow you like morning follows night

You can run till your pain’s through

One thing I won’t do Is to let you go alone to face the fight

See you’ll never understand what I feel, what I see

What’s going through my mind, how it feels being me All the struggles, all the fights, long days, longer nights

Trying to search for this happiness lost in the light

But it seems that it’s all just out of my sight

Just out of my reach, can’t seem to get right

Like I’m cursed with the turbulence placed in my life

Can’t push or pull it, stuck up in this ball pit

Cycle of pain, all the stress in my brain

I’m just trying to maintain, cause I’m going insane

But no matter what I do, the cries go unheard

Yet I still believe in you, every breath, every word

Every smile, every glance could be another chance

That you find to see the love that is me So until that time, I’ll follow everyday

Every step of the way, and continue to say

Go where you need to Know I won’t leave you

I’ll follow you like morning follows night

You can run till your pain’s through

One thing I won’t do Is to let you go alone to face the fight
