[Verse 1]
Falling tears, a broken heart
Here I sit as time goes by
'Cause all I had has gone forever
Can't stand the night
The fun we had, I knew so well
That something so deep inside
The last few days have been pure hell
Can't stand the night

[Verse 2]
Love, you tore my world apart
But still, I can't escape
You touched me and you hold me
The nights are hard to take
I know her body, her hair, her eyes
I know she should belong to me
But she's a one man's girl forever
Loving deeply why not me

[Chorus]
Love, why do I take you and why do you take me?
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night
[Verse 3]
Tell me where I have gone wrong
Give me a reason why
Tell me how to win her back
Can't stand the night

[Chorus]
Love, why do I take you and why do you take me?
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night

[Verse 4]
Falling tears, a broken heart
Here I sit as time goes by
'Cause all I had has gone forever
Can't stand the night
Oceans filled with tears
And mountains made of pain
And my eyes are sad each time
The night it comes back again

[Outro]
Love, why do I take you and why do you take me?
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Love, why do I take you and why do you take me?
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night
