Nights When Nothing Mattered

[INTRO] [Verse] I never heeded the bells of reason tolling Nor the storm of decency raging wild I crossed far beyond the salvaging line of floating For to me, nothing mattered, nothing at all I was thick as thieves with the devil himself Each evening he’d pull up a chair at my table We’d hatch foolish schemes without a care No fear of bars, no dread of the jail [Refrain] Every night, the same old refrain Shaking for this worthless son of pain I ignored the hurt deep in your soul Never thinking of tomorrow, these regrets that grow Mama, forgive me for the sleepless nights Your eyes in the darkness… still save my life [Verse] You were… The breakwater shattering the groundswell waves The stones of the castle perched on high ground The safest refuge, the top of the keep The titanium armor shielding your beloved ones [Bridge] Spoke like a reverend preaching grace Acted like Satan in disguise Drew in the worst Corrupted the finest That was the price I paid That was the price I paid [solo] [Refrain] Every night, the same old refrain Shaking for this worthless son of pain I ignored the hurt deep in your soul Never thinking of tomorrow, these regrets that grow Mama, forgive me for the sleepless nights Your eyes in the darkness… still save my life [ Final Verse] Today I lie awake, the bells ring too late The storm has passed, but the line’s been crossed forever I want to rise again, reach for your gentle hand Say forgive me for the nights when nothing mattered [Outro] Mama… your eyes in the night Still save me, even though I’ve drowned Forgive me for the nights when nothing mattered Forgive me for the nights when nothing mattered Forgive me Forgive me Written, composed and produced by ErnestoKade.
