Lyrics of After Hours by The Weeknd

verse

Thought I almost died in my dream again (baby, almost died)
Fightin′ for my life, I couldn't breathe again
I′m fallin' into (oh)
Without you goin' smooth (fallin′ in)
′Cause my heart belongs to you
I'll risk it all for you
I won′t just leave
This time, I'll never leave
I wanna share babies
Protection, we won′t need
Your body next to me
Is just a memory
I'm fallin′ in too deep, oh
Without you, I can't sleep
Insomnia relieve, oh
Talk to me, without you, I can't breathe
My darkest hours
Girl, I felt so alone inside of this crowded room
Different girls on the floor, distracting my thoughts of you
I turned into the man I used to be, to be
Put myself to sleep
Just so I can get closer to you inside my dreams
Didn′t wanna wake up ′less you were beside me
I just wanted to call you and say, and say

chorus

Oh, baby
Where are you now when I need you most?
I'd give it all just to hold you close
Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart

verse

Never comin′ through
I was running away from facin' reality
Wastin′ all of my time on living my fantasies
Spendin' money to compensate, compensate
′Cause I want you baby
I'll be livin' in Heaven when I′m inside of you
It was definitely a blessing, wakin′ beside you
I'll never let you down again, again

chorus

Oh, baby
Where are you now when I need you most?
I′d give it all just to hold you close
Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart
I said, baby
I'll treat you better than I did before
I′ll hold you down, when I let you go
This time I won't break your heart, your heart, yeah

bridge

I know it′s all my fault
Made you put down your guard
I know I made you fall
Then said you were wrong for me
I lied to you, I lied to you, I lied to you (to you)
Can't hide the truth, I stayed with her in spite of you
You did some things that you regret, still ride for you
'Cause this house is not a home

chorus

Without my baby
Where are you now when I need you most?
I gave it all just to hold you close
Sorry that I broke your heart, your heart
And I said, baby
I′ll treat you better than I did before
I′ll hold you down and not let you go
This time, I won't break your heart, your heart, no
