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. .
