Tears Before Bedtime

I know the name on the tip of your tongue
And I know that accusing look
Everybody knows Ive been so wrong
Thats the problem and heres the hook
Tears before bedtime
Therell be trouble tonight
I dont want to talk about it anymore
I dont want to have another fight
I dont want to talk I dont want to fight
How wrong can I be before I am right
For the tears that you boo hoo hoo hoo
There can be no defence
You say youll forgive and forget
But its only a pretence
Either you can leave the past behind
Or give me something to disconnect my mind
I sleep with my fists clenched tight
When I dont 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 cant excuse the cruel words
That I use whenever we fight
(chorus)
