## **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

Winter came and winter left

So many things we left unsaid

Messages, all unread

Things I needed to say, but then you left

Held my heart in chokehold

Made me bleed from my pure soul

Walked away during the dark night

This love wasn't worth the big fight

We went through the great war

Slipped from the dancefloor

Away to the shadow

Then you were gone, forevermore

When you left I wanted you more

Made me crave thing I never craved before

Miss the touch and the memories

**[Chorus]**

It's 12am, the music's gone

The dead streets haunt us

Our life paths drawn

Midnight blues out in the open

Stars turned to scars, after a long time broken

You ruined me, did that so effortlessly

My fears keep flashing

Turned my car, I'm crashing

This ain't no love story

Nobody wins in the end

It's 12am, another deadly game we were born to play

I begged you to stay

I never stopped crying

This feels like dying

We were born to die

**[Verse 2]**

Caught my eye into something I saw in the mirror

The reflection of me was pitch black

Scattered into tiny shards

Broken was not only my heart

The nights were long, dead and lonely

The pressure took my hopes away

The breeze felt like ocean diving

Ice cold, I won't be surviving

The shines are gone, no longer here

Sparkles lit after a lasting stare

Rooted polaroids on the floor

Bring back the pain once more

I tried to warn you, don't say I didn't

What happens in the dawn doesn't come out in the light

The blood we draw at midnight

Overflown in our plain sight

**[Chorus]**

It's 12am, the music's gone

The dead streets haunt us

Our life paths drawn

Midnight blues out in the open

Stars turned to scars, after a long time broken

You ruined me, did that so effortlessly

My fears keep flashing

Turned my car, I'm crashing

This ain't no love story

Nobody wins in the end

It's 12am, another deadly game we were born to play

I begged you to stay

I never stopped crying

This feels like dying

We were born to die

**[Bridge]**

Clock hits twelve

We meet ourselves

The devil's here

The judgement's due

I tell everyone I'm alright but deep down, I'm not

Midnight is the deadline

Hour of death and life

Cross the path

The weaknesses thrive

**[Chorus]**

It's 12am, the music's gone

The dead streets haunt us

Our life paths drawn

Midnight blues out in the open

Stars turned to scars, after a long time broken

You ruined me, did that so effortlessly

My fears keep flashing

Turned my car, I'm crashing

This ain't no love story

Nobody wins in the end

It's 12am, another deadly game we were born to play

I begged you to stay

I never stopped crying

This feels like dying

We were born to die
