Tears Before Bedtime

[Verse 1] I know the name on the tip of your tongue And I know that accusing look Everybody knows I've been so wrong That's the problem and here's the hook [Chorus:] Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonight I don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have another fight I don't want to talk I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right [Verse 2] For the tears that you boo hoo hoo hoo There can be no defense You say you'll forgive and forget But it's only a pretense [Chorus] [Verse 3] Either you can leave the past behind Or give me something to disconnect my mind I sleep with my fists clenched tight When I don't lie awake all night I guess time gave up the ghost too late And the balance of our love Very soon turns to hate Darling your suspiciousness Tortures me at night But I can't excuse the cruel words That I use whenever we fight [Chorus] [Outro][x4] How wrong can I be before I am right
