Lights Out

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 were 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
