On the empty streets of this nowhere town
The melting shadows fade
And the dark is creeping up on me again
In between these sheets where I laid you down,
I tried to find some rest
So I reach out for the switch, but why pretend?
Cause I can't turn the lights out, now
I'll see your face
No, I can't turn the lights out, now
My heart will break
Cause everything I see,
Will end up killing me,
All over, all over again
So I can't turn the lights out
Turn the lights out
(Turn the lights out)
There's a clock that stopped tickin' by the bed
The second you were gone
And it feels just like my heart stopped beating too
Cause it's hard to keep those promises,
I made when I was strong
Now I'm haunted by the ghost of you
And I can't turn the lights out, now
I'll see your face
No, I can't turn the lights out, now
My heart will break
Cause everything I see,
Will end up killing me,
All over, all over again
No, I can't turn the lights out
Turn the lights out
(Turn the lights out)
It's so hard holdin' on
It's so hard letting go
It's so hard holdin' on
Don't you know? Don't you know?
I can't turn the lights out, now
I'll see your face
I can't turn the lights out, now
My heart will break
Cause everything I see,
Will end up killing me,
All over, all over again
So I can't turn the lights out
Turn the lights out
(Turn the lights out)
So, I can't turn the lights out
(Turn the lights out)
(Turn the lights out)
