Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
|
We drank all night and got devils in our head
|
She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
|
Emotions overflowing
|
Now I don't know what to believe
|
Sitting here in the cold light of the day
|
|
She felt anger, I felt pain
|
I walked out into the pouring rain
|
Packed my bags and took the midnight train
|
Didn't care where it was going
|
On my way, running like a thief
|
Hard to leave, but harder to stay
|
|
There's no wrong, there's no right
|
But sometimes she breaks all the rules
|
And lying here alone tonight
|
Can't believe love can be so cruel
|
|
Wish I'd believed her
|
'Cos now I need her
|
Sometimes the truth just hurts too much
|
|
She goes straight to the heart
|
With a truth that always finds me
|
She goes straight to the heart
|
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
|
She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
|
When she twists the knife
|
It goes straight to the heart
|
|
Sometimes love is an endless fight
|
It's never simple, never black and white
|
Just like ships passing in the night
|
Who knows where they're going
|
No forgiveness, no reprieve
|
Both sailing their separate ways
|
|
Light of day, dead of night
|
I'm searching for what I can't find
|
Try and try as I might
|
I can't get her out of my mind
|
|
Wish I'd believed her
|
'Cos now I need her
|
I guess we all must love and learn
|
She goes straight to heart
|
With a truth that always finds me
|
She goes straight to the heart
|
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
|
She can be cold, and it tears me apart
|
When she twists the knife
|
It goes straight to the heart
|
