I know That is where you'll find me Even though you didn't have to remind me I shut out the lights Your eyes adjust They'll never be the same You know I love you so Lets start again Since you put me down It seems I've been very gloomy You may laugh, but pretty girls look right through me They don't sense the faintest glimmering That is the torch I bear There's light enough for me to find my way But I only have to tell myself that by now You could be with someone else Is there light beneath your door and Laughter from within? Do your friends come around Saying, "Try to find another lover"? He won't love you like I do In the darkest place I'm lost I have abandoned every hope Maybe you'll understand I must Shut out the light Your eyes adjust They'll never be the same You know I love you so Lets start again Do your friends come around Saying, "Try to find another lover"? He won't love you like I do In the darkest place That is where you'll find me In the darkest place That is where you'll find me |

All through the night you telephoned I saw the light blinking red Beside the cradle But you don't know how far I've gone Now I must live with the lie That I made But if I call, I know I won't have to say it You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn't travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But it's no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" So I walked outside in the bright Sunshine and lovers pass by Smiling and joking But they don't know the fool I was Why should they care what was lost What was broken? But if I call, I know I won't have to say it You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn't travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But it's no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn't travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But we still have Florence, Alabama We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome |

I have to say that we should finish it now Before we weaken ?cause we already know this is wrong I could give in, sometimes I think that I will Despite the temptation I try to be very strong In my reluctance seems a surprise It's not ?cause I don't want you But I just Know I must... hesitate Because I still have that other girl In my head I still have that other girl in my head There may be ugly rumors that I have been lying There may be angry tears, but They're never worth the crying That is why Sometimes I... hesitate Because I still have that other girl In my head I still have that other girl in my head I still have that other girl in my head |

These rooms play tricks upon you Remember when they were always filled with laughter? But now they're quite deserted They seem to just echo voices raised in anger Maybe you will see my face Reflected there on the pane In the window of our poor Forlorn and broken home Still this house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? These walls were lined with pictures Remember the glass we charged in celebration? But now I fill my life up With all that I can to deaden this sensation Do you recognize the face Fixed in that fine silver frame Were you really so unhappy then? You never said So this house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? Oh, if I could just become forgetful When night seems endless Does the extinguished candle care About the darkness? It's funny how my mem?ry Will bring you so close then make you disappear Meanwhile all our friends must choose Who they will favour, who they will lose Hang the garland high or close the door And throw away the key This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you |

Think back now when we were young There were always tears at the birthday party You know how children can be So cruel That's how it starts, but What if we never learn how to behave? I did something, and you never forgave me I never thought that it could be like this But now I see I see you share your cake with him Unwrapping presents that I should have sent What can I do? Must I watch you? Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again And it's the same every year Seems that I remember it as something more, but You know how children can grow So strange I still adore you What if we never learn from our mistakes? But then, you'll never know how my heart aches I never thought that it would be like this But now I see I see you share your cake with him Unwrapping presents that I should have sent What can I do? Must I watch you? Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again One day I know he'll forget To pay you the compliments you're after You'll hang your sad, aching head Behind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughter What if we only get what we deserve? Somehow I couldn't quite summon the nerve Upon each anniversary Then do you ever think of me? Unwrapping presents that I should have sent What can I do? Must I watch you? Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles So Happy Birthday again |

On a hot city day When your white shirt turns to grey That's when she'll arrive When you look how you feel Someone steps upon your heel That's when she will come Listen now I'm not saying that there will be violins But don't be surprised if they appear Playing in some doorway Still I can't believe that this is happening We're such unlikely lovers Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by Ask me what I'm thinking, and I won't deny it Can you believe it's happening? Can you believe it's happening? There were no magic spells You can keep the flowers and bells They just don't seem right Can it actually be? Me and you and you and me Though we're like day and night Listen now I'm not saying that there will be violins But don't be surprised if they appear Playing in some doorway Still I can't believe that this is happening We're such unlikely lovers Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by Ask me what I'm feeling, and I won't deny it Can you believe it's happening? I am bewildered Can you believe it's happening? Somebody help me Can you believe it's happening |

When I go to sleep, you become my thief Why don't you steal what you can keep? But you won't let me be You break into my dreams And every day seems different Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again And you'll console the heart you stole Have pity on the man Who knows that you have gone And has begun to break down I feel almost possessed So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then You can take all I have left I know it's over If you can't be my lover Be my thief I'm so drowsy now, I'll unlock the door What fades in time will hurt much more So here's that happy scene Where you come back to me It's only found in fiction I feel almost possessed So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then You can take all I have left I know it's over If you can't be my lover Be my thief "I didn't lead you on, But there will always be A little larceny in everyone So hush and don't you cry I'm trying to be kind Because I have a perfect alibi" |

Did somebody try to catch your eye And almost change your sad expression? Did somebody's hand linger too long? Must I now make my confession? But you'll never know What suspicion is Until you lie awake And every night you ask yourself "What am I to do?" Can it be so hard to calculate? When three goes into two There's nothing left over How's it gonna feel? This time it's real It's not a temporary fracture This is what you get, the stage is set For you and your attempted rapture Is he gonna smile That indulgent smile When you come running home? And every night you ask yourself, "What am I to do?" Can it be so hard to calculate? When three goes into two There's nothing left over What am I gonna say? You turn away And you leave me here despairing What am I going to do? I look at you You seem to be so long past caring Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Only to find out now that it's a joke So ask yourself, "What am I to do?" Can it be so hard to calculate? When three goes into two There's nothing left over Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" |

Such a picture of loveliness Didn't you notice the resemblance? Doesn't it look like she could speak? Those eyes I tried to capture They are lost to me now forever They smile for someone else Funny, how looks can be deceiving But she's not easily Painted from memory You'd think that I would know by now Those eyes I tried to capture They are lost to me now forever They smile for someone else And so this had to be Painted from memory She is gone, and I must accept it She is lost to me now But I can't look away just yet though She smiles for someone else And so this had to be Painted from memory Funny, now I can see How looks can be deceiving And so this had to be Painted from memory Funny, now I can see How looks can be deceiving |

You only saw red After I said, "How can we continue?" Hidden from your view In the blue corner that I painted myself into Then we started to fight And it changed everything Here's the ring You dropped the band, I can't understand it Not after all we've been through Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I Will find one to walk right into You knocked me out It was the sweetest punch The bell goes... I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming We all say things we don't mean You can't take it back Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice? I can see I'll never win So if you're going Then you better go to him Then you better go to him I only saw stars I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended What was I to do In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended? Then with seconds to go You delivered the blow Here I go You dropped the band, I can't understand it Not after all we've been through Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I Will find one to walk right into You knocked me out It was the sweetest punch The bell goes... I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming We all say things we don't mean You can't take it back Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice? I can see I'll never win So if you're going Then you better go to him Then you better go to him |

What's her name today? What's her name today? She could be anyone I might have known you'd leave her crying What's her name again? You should be ashamed How could you treat her so unspeakably? Or did you think she was a different girl? For as the radio played in the bedroom wall What was that name you called her? Was she the one who took away your pride And your reason? Oh, why did you decide that You'd punish any girl you meet To try and make that feeling go away? What's her name today? What's her name today? Is her hair hanging down? Or maybe it's fixed with a ribbon Are her eyes still blue? Should she trust in you? Because it's a lonely world She wants to believe for a while in all the things you say But as the radio played in the bedroom wall What was that name you called her? Isn't her smile reminiscent of someone else? Well, is it or isn't it? Oh, why did you decide that You'd punish any girl you meet To try and make that feeling go away? What's her name today? Is she going to stay So you can ruin her? And soon she'll be twisted in chiffon Dress her like a doll String her like a pearl She hears peals of bells, but it's hard to tell Now that she's hung up like a chandelier What's her name? What's her name? What's her name today |

Now I have nothing So God give me strength 'Cos I'm weak in her wake And if I'm strong I might still break And I don't have anything to share That I won't throw away into the air That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance of happiness So God give me strength God give me strength I can't hold on to her God give me strength When the phone doesn't ring And I'm lost in imagining Everything that kind of love is worth As I tumble back down to the earth That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance of happiness So God give me strength God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline I might as well Wipe her from my memory Fracture the spell As she becomes my enemy Maybe I was washed out Like a lip-print on his shirt See, I'm only human I want him to hurt I want him I want him to hurt Since I lost the power to pretend That there could ever be a happy ending That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance of happiness So God give me strength God give me strength |
