Dark night, the city sleeps It turns it back beneath the sheets Midnight 'till 4 a.m.
I wait until you're home again I make investigations Somebody told me there's bad news about love
So what I heard you say I'm not to blame and anyway Who cares what's on your mind You search for clues you'll never find You're like a cheap detective Caught in the act of self-deception You've got a case that no-one will try
CHORUS :
And then the picture fades Everything turns to grey Open my eyes, the lies won't go away And in my heart I know it's raining again today
Outside I wait and see She's there with you, where I should be Inside the pain I feel Is burning hot and cold as steel I see the way you hold her Brushing your lips against her shoulder I wanna shout why can't it be me?
CHORUS
Who is this crazy stranger that's inside of me Feeds herself upon suspicion Breathing hate for ammunition Look at me now, you've thrown me away
