Lyrics
The Party?s Over
Declan Power © 2003
A vehicle of ego, just a way to a means
Loving you in fever
You?ll have none of me
We had some fun, It?s been a blast
But now the party?s over
The joy has past
the party?s over, the lights are down
the party?s over
I?m finally crying -It feels so weird
What the hell am I doing
It?s just not making sense to me
I tried to remember
But it?s just outside my reach
I can?t turn my mind off - I?m wide awake
I wonder why do I do this to me?
The party?s over, the party?s over
The party?s over, I?m alone
I can?t imagine signing off.
The dance begins? the shadows keeping our time
Black light within ? the joy is fading from your eyes
A vehicle of ego
Just a way to a means
Smoke rising through the mirror
Love is never what it seems
Love is never what it seems
So why am I crying - It feels so weird
What the hell am I doing ? It's just not making sense to me
I tried to climb out ? but it?s just too late to teach
I can?t turn my mind off - I?m wide awake
I wonder why do I do this to me?
The party?s over, the party?s over
The party?s over, I?m alone
Can?t imagine
Can?t imagine
I can?t imagine
