Midnight by Acceptance Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 I want to do is hold her, hold her
[Post-Chorus]
I just need to leave you
I'm tripping over ways to keep you
I just need to ease you gently, gently
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And the city lights coming down on me
There's a silhouette who I used to be
I hope I get another chance to take
Cause you won't break me down, cause you won't break me down
[Chorus]
You know 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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Is it midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 I want to do is hold her, hold her
[Post-Chorus]
I just need to leave you
I'm tripping over ways to keep you
I just need to ease you gently, gently
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And the city lights coming down on me
There's a silhouette who I used to be
I hope I get another chance to take
Cause you won't break me down, cause you won't break me down
[Chorus]
You know 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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Is it midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
Midnight where you are?
Time stops, and we start over
