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
Its gettin too late, it cant be true
Has this lovin world turned its back on you?
Out spendin your time, baby, diggin for gold
Dig inside yourself, its 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
Id bet wed 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 youre 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 dont mean a thing
Well, I know that it cant 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
Thats the night I swear, I saw the devil in you
The devil in you, girl
