Lyrics
UP ALL NIGHT
Doesn?t it eat you up, the guilt that?s in your blood
Running through you like a virus?
How can you live like this, doesn?t it make you sick
When she?s standing right behind us? She?s right behind us?
Ah, ah, ah?
Coming home late again, why do I let you in
When I want to lock the door
But you?ve got flowers in your eyes, just like sorry cards
Haven?t we both been here before? Haven?t we been here before?
How can you sleep with that conscience tearing you up inside
Turning you inside out, keeping you up all night
Broken promises, the story always changes
And I know where you?ve been
But you?re so rational, with all your pros and cons,
You convince me to give in, why do I give in?
How do you sleep with that conscience tearing you up inside
Turning you inside out, keeping you up all night
And so I toss and turn, and it?s begun to burn,
As I simmer in the dark
I can?t live like this, I don?t want you anymore
Holding on to half your heart, she has half your heart
I can?t sleep with this conscience tearing me up inside
Turning me inside out, keeping me up all night
I won?t sleep with this conscience tearing me up inside
Turning me inside out, keeping me up all night
