The Lights Go Down

The lights go down in the heart of the city
The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty
When you feel like this world is over
And you feel life skipping your town
In this surreal light you're just a painted clown
Well it could seem like your heavy shoulders
Can't conceal life is dragging you down
But it could mean life is waiting on you now
Sometimes it's hard to raise your guard
I bear the scars, the grand facade
The lights go down in the heart of the city
Throw down your love like you wanna die
The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty
Throw down your love
Get up and fight
When your dreams lie beyond emotion
But it seems like the mirror don't lie
Sometimes it seems right
But not the turning tide
So destiny spikes your lover's potion
Cupid sees that his arrow won't fly
But could it be that the power's yours inside
Sometimes it's hard to raise your guard
I bear the scars, the grand facade
The lights go down in the heart of the city
Throw down your love like you wanna die
The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty
Throw down your love
Get up and fight
The lights go down in the heart of the city
Throw down your love like you wanna die
The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty
Throw down your love
Get up and fight
Sometimes it's hard to raise your guard
I bear the scars, the grand facade
The lights go down in the heart of the city
Throw down your love like you wanna die
The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty
Throw down your love
Get up and fight
