When she took up and left, she left so much behind
As she never said what was on her mind.
Did you misunderstand what she said in the dark?
With a wave of her hand left broke apart
Tracing all the memories, hanging on the days, the days before.

How did you get by? How did you get by?
How did you go on? How did you fight the beast in the night?
How did you get by? How did you get by?
How did you go on? How did you fight the beast in the night?
The beast in the night, the beast in the night.

Hey! You're loving again, but you're crying inside.
You keep looking for reasons what went wrong.
As you try to forget, when you turn out the lights
You can feel how she lingers in your head
Tracing all the memories, sweeping yesterday outside your door.

How did you get by? How did you get by?
How did you go on? How did you fight the beast in the night?
How did you get by? How did you get by?
How did you go on? How did you fight the beast in the night?

(Guitare solo)

How did you get by? How did you get by?
How did you go on? How did you fight the beast in the night?
How did you get by? How did you get by?
How did you go on? How did you fight the beast in the night?
The beast in the night, the beast in the night, the beast in the night.
