Lipstick traces on an unmade bed

We drank all night and got devils in our head

She said some things that should have stayed unsaid

Emotions overflowing

Now i don't know what to believe

Sitting here in the cold light of the day



She felt anger, i felt pain

I walked out into the pouring rain

Packed my bags and took the midnight train

Didn't care where it was going

On my way, running like a thief

Hard to leave, but harder to stay



There's no wrong, there's no right

But sometimes she breaks all the rules

And lying here alone tonight

Can't believe love can be so cruel



Wish i'd believed her

'cos now i need her

Sometimes the truth just hurts too much



She goes straight to the heart

With a truth that always finds me

She goes straight to the heart

And pulls tight the ties that bind me

She can be so cold, and it tears me apart

When she twists the knife

It goes straight to the heart



Sometimes love is an endless fight

It's never simple, never black and white

Just like ships passing in the night

Who knows where they're going

No forgiveness, no reprieve

Both sailing their separate ways



Light of day, dead of night

I'm searching for what i can't find

Try and try as i might

I can't get her out of my mind



Wish i'd believed her

'cos now i need her

I guess we all must love and learn

She goes straight to heart

With a truth that always finds me

She goes straight to the heart

And pulls tight the ties that bind me

She can be cold, and it tears me apart

When she twists the knife

It goes straight to the heart
