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 
 Is it midnight where you are? 
 Time stops 
 And we start over 
 Is it midnight where you are? 
 Time stops 
 And we start over 
 Is it midnight where you are? 
 Time stops 
 And we start over
