I drew a line in the sand   And made my simple demand   I kissed You one last time goodbye   I watched You walk out of my life      I didn?t mean to mistreat You   I need to reach You, I need to reach You      There?s got to be a better way   Longer nights and brighter days   Better times to make You stay      My heart is buried in the ground   My hands are tied, my feet are bound   And it?s the smoke that wets my eyes   As I burn You from my life      I didn?t mean to mistreat You   I need to reach You, I need to reach You      There?s got to be a better way   Longer nights and brighter days   Better times to make You stay      There?s got to be a better way   And longer nights and brighter days   Better times to make You stay      Hate me tomorrow if You need to   But tonight I need to get through   Hate me tomorrow if You need to   But tonight I need to get through      There?s got to be a better way   And longer nights and brighter days   Better times to make You stay      There?s got to be a better way   And longer nights and brighter days   Better times to make You stay      Hate me tomorrow if You need to   (I need to reach You, I need to reach You)   Hate me tomorrow if You need to   (I need to reach You, I need to reach You)      Hate me tomorrow if You need to   (I need to reach You, I need to reach You)   Hate me tomorrow if You need to   (I need to reach You)
