It’s another night; I sit and choke a lie

Broken pieces of a story make an alibi

I want to know where you’ve been, who you’re with

And what you do, what you’ve got to do

It’s the little things you do that cut like a lie

Keeping distance and an exit in the back of your mind

I don’t want it if you give it with a limit on it

Go if you want to go

I lie awake in the dead of night

Wait for you to come home and get your story right

Hearts burning from the fire that you lit up inside

It's your word to mine

What's your alibi?

But you ran away; it makes me miss you instead

See your face and apparitions in the back of my head

Are you waking up or are you sleeping in?

No, I don’t want to know

I heard you’re with someone, that he bought you a ring

May get money and a diamond; gives you everything

I’ll believe it when you want me to forgive you

So I’ll go if I've got to go

I lie awake in the dead of night

Wait for you to come home and get your story right

Hearts burning from the fire that you lit up inside

It's your word to mine

What's your alibi?

It's another night; I sit and wait on the bed

I could run away and try to make you love me again

I don’t want to know where you’ve been creeping in

In a hotel with someone else

I lie awake in the dead of night

Wait for you to come home and get your story right

Hearts burning from the fire that you lit up inside

It's your word to mine

What's your alibi?

What's your alibi?

What's your alibi?

It's another night; I sit and wait on the bed

I could run away and try to make you love me again
