[Verse 1]
You look so adoringly up at him when you embrace, you always lose track of time
And when you're sitting alone and silence fills your ears, wait for him to say his lines
On the way back to his place, you worry, "What will I do next?"
You're just along for the ride

[Chorus]
And do you stop and wonder what happens when the lights are out?
More painful dark romancing and losing ways to explain

[Verse 2]
Your hands lock just outside, and you run through the door again, with different motives this time
He drags you into the room, his fingers brushing your skin
Oh God, will this ever end?

[Chorus]
And do you stop and wonder what happens when the lights are out?
More painful dark romancing and losing ways to explain

[Bridge 1]
He slips off her dress
And throws her on the bed
I wish all this would end

(He's stealing all my hopes right now and taking them to bed with him
He's crushing all my hopes right now by getting into bed with her)

[Bridge 2]
And do you stop and wonder what happens when the lights are gone?
More wishing that you were mine

(you're not mine)

[End Chorus]
And do you stop and wonder what happens when the lights are out?
More painful dark romancing and losing ways to explain
You know I stop and wonder what happens when I realize

That you'll never be mine
