I was fast asleep
Or so I thought as I breathe in deep
The memories are what I cling onto and keep
The memories that caused me cuts so deepThere was nothing left to do
I grab my backpack and jacket and do
Do the thing that I've always wanted to do
Open the door and doI walk through houses
See those hanging blouses
Scared by the running mouses
Still covering my gashesI reached my destination
Where I was supposed to let my emotions
In this world that has a continuous rotation
Why do I always suppress my emotions?I sat down and looked above
The view seems different up above
I thought we were gonna see each other, Love
Why aren't you there up above?The moon was out of sight
The moon at midnight
Maybe the moon was out with the sun
Maybe that's why he's goneWhat celestial body would want to be with me?
When all I do is cry and hate me
Why did the moon agree to meet me?
When the moon will be gone when I get meIt's always the "you're so strong"
Not "you're not gonna go through it alone"
It's always the "it'll make you strong"
Not "it's fine, you're not alone"The moon at midnight
Why are you out of sight?
Didn't you vow to keep me on sight?
Why are you not present during midnights?The mood at midnight
I'm holding on so tight
I vowed to hold on and fight
That doesn't mean I want a fight to fightThe moon at midnight
You always follow me at night
Why aren't you here by my side?
Why aren't you here to be my guide?I'm sitting here alone
Looking up at the empty space you left gone
I'm looking up while you're gone
Wishing you're here to see me aloneIt's always the nights
I lose all my might
It's always the midnights
When I miss the moon I see during my midnights
