Shoulda´ listened to someone, love has gone, I´ve got nowhere to run.
I shoulda´ listened to someone, love has gone, I´ve got nowhere to run.

She´s gone and I know, that the pain is beginnin´ to show, I´m hurting inside.
My world fell apart, but love´s still burning in my heart, but where can I hide?

Love turned to stone, and I´m tired of bein´ alone,
Yeah, burnin´ the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin´ the midnight oil.

There´s a voice in my head runnin´ over everything she said, and I can´t erase it.
Love was a game, well I lost and it´s a cryin´ shame, but I gotta face it.

Nowhere to go, and time is moving slow,
Yeah, burnin´ the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin´...

Burnin´ the midnight oil - hot water getting ready to boil,
Drink coffee ´til my nerves are wired - I´m so high, I think I´ll never be tired.
Feeling sad and I´m mad, all the bad luck that I´ve had.

Shoulda´ listened to someone, love has gone, I´ve got nowhere to run.
I shoulda´ listened to someone, love has gone, I´ve got nowhere to run.
Shoulda´ listened to someone, love has gone, I´ve got nowhere to run.
I shoulda´ listened to someone, love has gone, I´ve got nowhere to run.

I´ll lay back on my bed, memories runnin´ through my head, I tried to forget.
The clock´s striking twelve, I´m still trying to convince myself it´s not over yet.
Love turned to stone, and I´m tired of bein´ alone,
Yea, burnin´ the midnight oil - Yea-ee-yea, burnin´ the midnight oil.
