Joan Jett, The Blackhearts - Before The Dawn lyrics

Lately I can't feel a strain
That was there before
I look around, I feel so much pain
Don't wanna feel it no more, no

I walk the streets alone at night
And nobody knows
That in my heart something just ain't right
I hope it doesn't show

That I can get tired of being strong
I start to think I'm wrong
It's always darkest before the dawn

As darker thoughts grow in my mind
I need a little insight
The hardest part of every day
Is struggling at night

And I get tired of being strong
But I try to keep moving on
It's always darkest before the dawn

Friends they try to tell me
I'll get through you alright
I need solidarity
Especially tonight

Walk the crowded streets at night
Watching people shows
In my heart something just ain't right
Disconnecting woes
One thing you gotta know
It's time to shine a light
The hardest part of every day
Is my struggling at night

I know I can be strong
Show go on their own
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh, I know I can be strong
And see that I'm not wrong
It's always darkest before the dawn

C'mon, son
It's always darkest before the dawn
