For all the words we strained to shout
I've gotten tired of screaming out
It seems you find it much too loud
So you just sneak by without a sound
Now hold on tightly to my hand
As I try my best to understand
Why raging rivers need a dam
You're just a boy, you're not a man
I've wasted so much time on this
But every single point's been missed
Gone out of mind and out of sight
It's late so please put out the lights
Why won't you please put out the lights?
You know I love you in my heart
But now it's being torn apart
I don't know why it's still so hard
To leave behind this house of cards
We waste our time with stupid games
While all these orders stay the same
Please tell me when you'll just refrain
From judging things you can't explain
I've wasted so much time on this
But every single point's been missed
Gone out of mind and out of sight
It's late so please put out the lights
Why won't you please put out the lights?
Take responsibility, now look into this mirror
You're always quick to criticize but your image isn't clear
You think that we all owe you but we've never owed a thing
It's a bond that's made with bloodlines, we aren't bound by puppet strings
We aren't bound by puppet strings, oh yeah
I've wasted so much time on this
But every single point's been missed
Gone out of mind and out of sight
It's late so please put out the lights
Why won't you please put out the lights?
I'm getting sick of all these fights
It's late so please put out the lights
Why won't you please put out the lights?
Well I am not a marionette
The things you say, I won't forget
I'll live my life with no regrets
But nothing much has happened yet
Nothing much has happened yet
