Well you’re belted in the driver’s seat
And you push both pedals with both feet
And you dry your eyes on the cuff of your jacket sleeve
And you can’t you move forward through a veil of tears
And you can’t go back; anywhere but here seems too far away
But you’re scared you may never leave
Through the night, just get me through the night
Through the night, just get me through the night
When a heart breaks down
There ain’t no tomorrow
It’s here and now
Heartache and sorrow
You pray out loud just to survive
No, no, when a heart breaks down
No need to find a meaning
It’s all but gone
Yeah, what you’re needing
Is something strong that’ll numb your mind
To get you through the night
Get you through the night
When the only thing you want to see
Is this day gone
With no memory
Of what’s gone wrong;
To wake from a real bad dream
Through the night, just get me through the night
Through the night, just get me through the night
When a heart breaks down
You’re in for bad weather
It drags along
Lingers until there ain’t no song that can make it right
No, no, when a heart breaks down
No need to find a meaning
It’s all but gone
Yeah, what you’re needing is something strong that’ll numb your mind
Your mind
To get you through the night
Get you through the night
Through the night, just get me through the night
Through the night, just get me through the night
When a heart breaks down
The hell with tomorrow
It’s here and now
Heartache and sorrow
You pray out loud just to survive
No, no, when a heart breaks down
No need to find a meaning
It’s all but gone
Yeah, what you’re needing
Is something strong that’ll numb your mind, your mind
And get you through the night
Get you through the night
Get you through the night
Get you through the night
To get you through the night
