The lights go down in the heart of the city. The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty When you feel like this world is over And you feel life skipping your town, In this surreal light you're just a painted clown, Well it could seem like your heavy shoulders Can't conceal life is dragging you down, But it could mean life is waiting on you now. Sometimes it's hard to raise your guard, I bear the scars, the grand facade... The lights go down in the heart of the city. Throw down your love like you wanna die, The lights go down and the dark isn't ptetty, Throw down your love, Get up and fight When your dreams lie beyond emotion But it seems like the mirror don't lie, Sometimes it seems right, but not the turning tide, So destiny spikes your lover's potion, Cupid sees that his arrow won't fly But could it be that the power's yours inside Sometimes it's hard to raise your guard, I bear the scars, the grand facade... The lights go down in the heart of the city, Throw down your love like you wanna die, The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty, Throw down your love, Get up and fight. The lights go down in the heart of the city, Throw down your love like you wanna die, The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty, Throw down your love, Get up and fight. Sometimes it's hard to raise your guard, I bear the scars, the grand facade... The lights go down in the heart of the city, Throw down your love like you wanna die, The lights go down and the dark isn't pretty, Throw down your love, Get up and fight.
