Lights Go Out

Last night was a sleepless one

And the rain had me thinking that the sun would never

come

A white flash split the sky in two

And my heart beat louder than the thunder

When I would think of you

Of you and your new man

Now every time I see you two together I fall apart

And the lights go out

The phone's busy every time I call

And it looks like the sun is gonna rise after all

So I pull the blinds down

I know I set the alarm to ring

But with my eyes unfocused on the ceiling I can't hear

anything

Except the voice in my head saying that

"Everybody told you they all knew it right from the

start"

Now every time I see you two together I fall apart

And the lights go out

I pull aside the curtain, see a snake on the floor

You say you don't know how it got inside the door

You lied about the things that everybody else knows

Got me running in circles everywhere I go

And the lights go out
