On the empty streets of this snowing town The melting shadows fade And the dark is creeping up on me again In between these sheets where I lay 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 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
There's a clock that stopped ticking 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 And now I'm haunted by the ghost of you
And I can't turn the lights out now I 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
It's so hard holding on It's so hard that you're gone It's so hard holding on Don't you know? don't you know?
I can't turn the lights out now I 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 I can't turn the lights out Turn the lights out
So I can't turn the lights out Turn the lights out
