Tonight the sunset means so much
The one thing that you know you´ll never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
I reach out for that sweet dream

But somehow the darkness wakes me up
I´ve felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I´ve been broken
I still run right back for more

You´d think that I´d learn my lesson by now
You´d think that I´d somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You´re bound to feel the flame

You think that I´d learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven´t learned a thing

Sometimes I think I´m better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
And give up the longing, believing in belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss

You´d think that I´d learn my lesson by now
You´d think that I´d somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You´re bound to feel the flame

You´d think that I´d learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven´t learned a thing
