last night well I couldn’t sleep

when I think of you I can never sleep

I think of where you are and then where you’re not

and I think somehow you just forgot

there were people out there who cared for you

there were people out there in love with you

but all that love and all that care

what’s it mean if they’re just not there



YOU TALKED OF PARADISE

WHEN YOU WERE SOBER

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER

I MADE A SACRAFICE, THOUGHT I COULD HOLD YOU

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER



remember back, down at Mardi Gras

when it was me, you, we saw it all

there were dreams we had, there were plans we made

but something inside of you was so afraid

that no one out there ever cared for you

that no one out there would fall in love with you

so many people felt that way for you

but like me they never said it out loud to you



YOU TALKED OF PARADISE

WHEN YOU WERE SOBER

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER

I MADE A SACRAFICE, THOUGHT I COULD HOLD YOU

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER



scared like a statue and I turned to stone

I let you go through all of that hell alone

I cry for you but I cry inside

and it’ll stay that way till the day I die

scared like a statue and I turned to stone

I let you go through all of that hell alone

I cry for you but I cry inside

it’ll stay that way till the day I die



I know you never ever said goodbye

this is my goodbye



YOU TALKED OF PARADISE

WHEN YOU WERE SOBER

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER

I MADE A SACRAFICE, THOUGHT I COULD HOLD YOU

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER



YOU TALKED OF PARADISE

WHEN YOU WERE SOBER

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER

I MADE A SACRAFICE, THOUGHT I COULD HOLD YOU

NOW THAT’S OVER, NOW THAT’S OVER



scared like a statue and I turned to stone

I let you go through all of that hell alone

I cry for you but I cry inside

and it’ll stay that way till the day I die

scared like a statue and I turned to stone

I let you go through all of that hell alone

I cry for you but I cry inside

and it’ll stay that way till the day I die
