Lyrics

Tonight

Tonight please tell me that you'll stay
Don't throw our love away
I need you, oh I do
Tonight I know it's a mistake
Cause your love's not mine to take
But I need you, oh I do

Twisting the truth to suit your needs
You think it's alright
Look what you've done to me
You crawl in bed and I turn out the light
All of the lies we tell
I've tried to wash my hands of the whole affair but
How can I believe that what we're doing is so beautiful
When I know that you don't care

Tonight when heaven turns to hell
The secrets that we tell aren't worth the pain we bear
Tonight why don't we walk away
Before we slip and break something we can't repair

Here comes the guilt again
I feel it more and more
What were you thinking when you married him
And love waltzed out the door
Tomorrow's another day
Our actions contradicting everything we say but
Who is the fool my dear
As long as we feel calculated shame we'll think that it's okay

Take me back
Before I ever knew your name
Before we ever got this insane
Take me back
So I can remember every single thing
Cause once again I'm in the wrong place
At the wrong time
But it won't matter as long as you hold me
Tonight

Tonight please tell me that you'll stay
Don't throw our love away
I need you, oh I do
Tonight I know it's a mistake
Cause your love's not mine to take
But I need you, oh I do
Oh I need you, oh I do
Tonight
