I'm runnin' tired of this deception

I have no wish to play this game

Too many times a bad connection

And you're still holding me away

We're living under false pretenses

Foolin' ourselves, believe the lies

I could not take one more rejection

You wanted more but would not try

Something's gone wrong with us

Something ain't right

Why are we lonely in the night

Why are we lonely in the night

We're trapped within our own defenses

The walls we made all look the same

There is no love without affection

We've come to far to break the chain

Something's gone wrong with us

Something ain't right

Why are we lonely in the night

Why are we lonely in the night

I'm growing tired of this deception

We fall apart and wonder why?

Our hearts now pull in new directions

We don't know how to say goodbye

Something's gone wrong with us

Something ain't right

Why are we lonely in the night

Why are we lonely in the night

Something's gone wrong with us

Something ain't right

Why are we lonely in the night

Why are we lonely in the night
