Lyrics

The Clock Stops (and The World?s Not Turning)


Verse
I told the girls that I don?t really miss you,
I said I?ll me somebody if want to,
There?s got to be someone out there tonight,
Somebody who is gonna treat me right

Pre Chorus
Alone at night I?m in my bed,
It just ain?t right you?re in my head
Don?t care that you?re with someone else
I?m fooling no one but myself

Chorus
When you?re far away from me the clock stops and the world?s not turning,
Nothing?s like it used to be, least that?s just the way it feels
When you?re far away from me the clock stops and the world?s not turning,
It?s some kind of mystery, why the time is standing still

Verse
I guess I loved you boy from that first minute,
But if they ask, you know I won?t admit it,
Say I believe I?m better off with out you
But in my heart I guess I doubt it?s true

Pre Chorus
Alone at night, I?m in my bed,
I just can?t sleep you?re in my head
Don?t care you?re now with someone else,
I fooling no one but myself

Chorus
When you?re far away from me the clock stops and the world?s not turning,
Nothing?s like it used to be, least that?s just the way it feels
When you?re far away from me the clock stops and the world?s not turning,
It?s some kind of mystery, why the time is standing still

Bridge
I believed you?re love would bring me to a higher place,
I have these realities that I will have to face,
I took a chance on you and now my world has come undone,
Like Russian roulette with my heart and you?re the loaded gun

Pre Chorus
Alone at night, I?m in my bed,
I just can?t sleep you?re in my head
Don?t care you?re now with someone else,
I fooling no one but myself

Chorus
When you are not here with me the clock stops and the world?s not turning,
Nothing?s like it used to be, least that?s just the way it feels
When you are not here with me the clock stops and the world?s not turning,
It?s some kind of mystery, why the time is standing still,
