I'm runnin' tired of this deception
I have no wish to play this game
Too many times a bad connection
And you're still holding me away
We're living under false pretenses
Foolin' ourselves, believe the lies
I could not take one more rejection
You wanted more but would not try

Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

We're trapped within our own defenses
The walls we made all look the same
There is no love without affection
We've come to far to break the chain

Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

I'm growing tired of this deception
We fall apart and wonder why?
Our hearts now pull in new directions
We don't know how to say goodbye

Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
