When we got together
We were drowning in the touch
You kept things to yourself
And didn't say too much
I let you have your silence
'Cause I thought you needed time
But now I want to stop
Tryin' to read between the lines
I can't wait forever
One side needs to know
The feelings of the other
Before they know their own
Every night
You take your silence to bed
Every day
The same words go on never said
And tonight
We'll do it all over again
You've touched my life forever
But we'll never really start
Every time you turn on the light
My heart's in the dark
Heart's in the dark
You can have your secrets
A part of you that's yours
But you want me in your life
And need to know what for
Help me get around it
'Cause we're more than passing ships
I see it in your eyes
Let me hear it from your lips
Every night
You take your silence to bed
Every day
The same words go on never said
And tonight
We'll do it all over again
You've touched my life forever
But we'll never really start
Every time you turn on the light
My heart's in the dark
Heart's in the dark
Our love is a broken rage
And I'm drowning in my doubts
It may sound like I'm angry
But I'm only reaching out
And time won't change
What I'm goin' through only you can do that
If you want me now to stay with you
Then bring the reason back
And tonight
Don't take your silence to bed
Every day
Don't let those words go unsaid
And tonight
We'll start it all over again
Baby touch my life forever
Let me know you want to start
'Cause every time you turn on the light
My heart's in the dark
And tonight
Don't take your silence to bed
And today
Don't let those words go unsaid
And tonight
We'll start all over again
Baby touch my life forever
Let me know you want to start
'Cause every time you turn on the light
My heart's in the dark
