Lights Are Out

The lights are out
We're lying in bed
You're so close beside me
You're asleep like the dead

I want to wake you
To tell you I know
How you could cheat me
How you could be so low

The lights are out
We're lying in bed
Your breath breaks the silence
And the clock ticks again

It's three in the morning
I shouldn't feel hurt this deep
I should just turn over
And try to get some sleep

When the room is so dark...
How come I see so clear?

Why must I feel this way
Every night
I'm wide awake
It comes so clear
In the dark of this room
You're leaving, lady...
You're leaving this home
