(China Burton)

Staring into space, I try to convince myself

It doesn't really matter that I'm living your life not mine,

Then holding my head up high

I swallow hard and ask myself why,

How is it I find myself here with you?

I keep turning off lights,

And getting under covers

Caught up in your nights,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights,

Rolling with the thunder

Fighting for my life,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights.

What is this need I have for giving too much?

Then I feel guilt for never ever taking enough,

I keep making the same mistakes

How much more do I have to take?

I'd rather die than have to face the night.

I keep turning off lights,

And getting under covers

Caught up in your nights,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights,

Rolling with the thunder

Fighting for my life,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights.

I can't hide, I can't run

I don't know who I'm really running from,

I guess I know I'm trying to avoid myself

I keep turning off lights.

I keep turning off lights,

And getting under covers

Caught up in your nights,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights,

Rolling with the thunder

Fighting for my life,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights.

I keep turning off lights,

And getting under covers

Caught up in your nights,

Crying for the answers

Oh, I keep turning off lights,

Rolling with the thunder

Fighting for my life....
