"Restless Nights"

Last night i woke to the sound of thunder
And it made me wonder
Where is the laughter
Where is the happy ever after
I guess it faded away
When the smile ran from her face

I said alot of things
Tore and beat at my broken wings
And i still haven't found what I'm looking for
Never settled the score

I never wanted the front page news
I just wanted you
So i wouldn't be so restless, with nothing to lose
But it was too good to be true
And now that your gone, what do i do
Ooooh yeah what do i do
I'm nothing without you
So, what do i do

She always used to ask me, "why wont you hold your head high"
And id say "well, its so filled with lies"
Why even try
Id be fighting a losing fight
And besides
You never look me in the eye
But don't worry i know why

I never wanted the front page news
I just wanted you
So i wouldn't be so restless, with nothing to lose
But it was too good to be true
And now that your gone, what do i do
Ooh yeah what do i do
I'm nothing without you
So, what do i do

Its so funny how you remember the good times
When your alone on some cold, restless night
Holding onto an old guitar
Watching the night move around the stars
Swimming in beam and cigarettes
Trying to choke back the regrets
Humming a tune to a sad, sad song
