Midnight Struck

Please forgive me for not smiling

Please excuse the tear in my eye

You were out late, you were playin'

I was alone late last night

It's gettin' too late, it can't be true

Has this lovin' world turned it's back on you?

Out spendin' your time, baby, diggin' for gold

Dig inside yourself, it's inside your soul

Sometimes love gets so hard and only Lord knows

Just to win the fight, we gotta take the scars

If we could change the way things might have been

I'd bet we'd go back to where it first began

I bet you would, baby

Emptiness can be a silent friend

It stays with you until love comes once again

So I hope you find what you're looking for

'Cause that friend may stay with you until the very end

Where were you when midnight struck?

Where were you when midnight hit?

Am I just a fool with such bad luck?

Where were you when midnight struck?

Hang my life by the end of a string

You tell me that our love don't mean a thing

Well, I know that it can't be true

'Cause I was up late, baby, waiting for you

And now my feelings just fade away

All my memories come to an end

That night, girl, you dragged me down

That's the night I swear, I saw the devil in you

The devil in you, girl
