When The Lights Go Down
music: J.Brennan/A.Mattera
lyrics: J.Brennan/J.Cruz/A.Mattera

She said, “So long” as she showed me the door
“Get out, get lost, don’t want to see you no more”
I should’ve figured out what this hell show’s all about
She was crossing the line

Her style is cold and scheming
I never see it coming
But I know that she’s gone
‘Cause she’s fading away

Why did you push me to this?
Feeding me your lies that you think I’d miss
Maybe I should run this time
Taking back the love and life that’s mine

Chorus:
When the lights go down
And she turned away
When the lights go down
Nothing more to say

Even in this place, I still want things the same
When you slap my face, I just can’t feel the pain
When the lights go..

She said “Hello”, like the drop of a hat
She was descreet, as a matter of tact
I should have figured out what this craving’s all about
Kind of odd at the time

Her smile is warm and tempting
Why should I feel conflicted?
But I know that it’s wrong ‘cause I’m fading away

Why did you push me to this?
Holding back your love that you know I’d miss
Maybe I should see this through
Fighting thoughts of what I’ll do to you

When the lights go down
Talking velvet and lace
When the lights go down
I can see her face

Even in this place, she’s calling out my name
When I’m in this place, I just don’t feel the same
When the lights go..

Even in this place, I still want things the same
When you slap my face, I just can’t feel the pain
In my fall from grace, I’m calling out your name
When the lights go down
