I'm afraid to close my eyes if they don't open again
In the morning, like I always used to, I would stay there lying
And I wouldn't be able to lift my hand, let alone say
I don't want to die tonight
I don't want to die tonight
I'm unfinished and not at all ready to leave from here
Just when things have started to taste like life
I have one wish, just one little plea
I don't want to die tonight
I don't want to die tonight
I promise to read the Bible and to get sober
If I get time it will surely work out
But not tonight
Let the sinful me be left behind
I can still change, I know it
But not tonight
So will you please let me see what tomorrow looks like
So I will do my best to be a good person
I know you can hear this plea of mine, my prayer
I don't want to die tonight
I don't want to die tonight
I don't want to die tonight
I don't want to die tonight
