I've seen that look before, but not on you
And I've heard that tone of voice, but not from you
Once upon a time my mama came into my room
I still recall the smell of alcohol and her perfume
She said, "I've had it son, I'm sorry but I'm through"
All this time I thought I was to blame
Now I'm losing you the same way
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
How dark this night
So far the dawn
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
I'll never know why I needed you
And I don't know why I still do
Broken home and broken dreams, girl we're two of a kind
Born with the same bad luck, born under the same bad sign
Everything about our love was wrong
I don't know how it went on so long
Or why it still burns so strong
What we called love, the world called something else
You can't trust someone if you hate yourself
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
How dark this night
So far the dawn
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
I'll never know why I needed you
And I don't know why I still do
Take me back to our first kiss
I could feel the beating of an empty heart
Yeah, another misfit
And that was enough for us
We thought we were born to be together
We thought this was love
♪
The winter came right through these walls
But we stayed right here
And told each other it was them not us
One by one our friends disappeared
We brought out the worst in us
A combination always ready to combust
Still it was a mighty love and a powerful lust
Either way, the sparks would always fly
Either way, I'm not ready to say goodbye
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
How dark this night
So far the dawn
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
She's gone, gone, gone, gone
How dark this night
Our love lies dying
She's gone, gone, gone, gone
Our love lies dying
Our love lies dying
