It's late at night
Like always, like always
She's not surprised
Like always, like always
When she's alone again she can cry
Like always
When the sun is up and the day is new
It feels like this never happened to you
Food's on the table, your backpack's in sight
Afraid to let her know things aren't right
When she's alone again she can cry
Like always, like always
Your ride picks you up, you sit with your friends
You imagine you are the same as them
But only you know the secrets you keep
When night falls and you pretend to be asleep
I read all the stories, I hear it on the news
But you never think it'll happen to you
You swear you'll speak out and tell a close friend
But before you can, it's happened again
It's late at night
Like always, like always
She's not surprised
Like always, like always
When she's alone again she can cry
Like always
I'm counting down the days till I'm an adult
When I won't feel like it's all my fault
But I wonder if I can endure all of this
I want to but I'm afraid to resist
When she's alone again she can cry
Like always, like always
Will I have a life, will I be damaged goods
Will someone listen so I feel understood
I'll close my eyes, I'm going to pretend
That I've been rescued - it's all come to an end
It's late at night
Like always, like always
She's not surprised
Like always, like always
When she's alone again she can cry
Like always
It's late at night
Like always, like always
She's not surprised
Like always, like always
