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
Hey, Hey

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
