I gave my word to you
I said that I'd stay true
It's midnight and I remember
The pain you put me through

You needed something new
Baby, that's just not true
It's midnight wherever you are
And I can't feel a thing

And the city lights coming down on me
They show my faults like a silver screen
And I'm contemplating, what I heard you saying
Forgive me one more time, I'm only living
Well, there's something on my mind

You know I got to think it over
And I won't do it till I'm sober
I always thought that we get older, older
You know I got to think it over
And I won't do it till I'm sober
And all want to do is hold her, hold her

I just need to leave you
I'm tripping over ways to keep you
I just need to ease you gently, gently

Something's been off here all along
Would you agree, you're just too slow to see it
I guess I'd never seen it

She played her part so perfectly
How could I miss it?
How could I never see it?
I guess I'll never see it

And the city lights coming down on me
There's a silhouette where I used to be
I hope I get another chance to take
'Cause you won't break me down, and you won't break me down

And I got to think it over
And I won't do it till I'm sober
And all I want to do is hold her, hold her
You know I got to think it over
And I won't do it till I'm sober
I always thought that we get older, older

I just need to leave you
I'm tripping over ways to keep you
I just need to ease you gently, gently
I just need to leave you
I'm tripping over ways to keep you
I just need to ease you gently, gently

Is it midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
