Lyrics
When The Lights Go Out.
Try not to fall apart,
Help is coming with an open heart,
Dry your tears, hide your fears,
Show your smile one more time, till the truth hurts.
Try not to lose your trust,
When our promises have turned to dust.
Cross your heart, hope to die,
We?ll drop by, and pick up the pieces.
Everybody wants to love you,
Everybody hurts when you hurt.
But when all the lights go out at night,
Does anyone hear you call ?
Everybody understands you.
Everybody knows your problems.
But when all the lights go out at night,
Is anyone there at all ?
You?ve just got lucky again.
We are smart and we can feel your pain,
Here we go, one more time,
Put your faith in our hands, don?t give in.
We love the love that you show,
It makes us shiny with a feel good glow.
Play the game, what?s your name,
Cheerio, we?ll see you next time.
Everybody wants to love you,
Everybody hurts when you hurt.
But when all the lights go out at night,
Does anyone hear you call ?.
Everybody understands you.
Everybody knows your problems.
But when all the lights go out at night,
Is anyone there at all ?
Everybody needs to feel love
Everybody needs some kindness.
Everybody heard you calling for love.
Did anyone help at all ?
Everybody heard you crying,
Everybody heard you dying,
But when all your lights go out tonight,
Will you still be all alone ?
