In the dark side of the city In a time not long ago I was lyin' out in the gutter You came along, why Heaven knows...

 

Given time a heart grows stronger I played the game and then I knew You only told me that you loved me To hear me say it back to you

 

Now what's it gonna take before you wake up And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart If truth cuts like a knife The pain you're feelin' serves you right So baby, cry yourself to sleep tonight

 

You told me, babe this time it's different But things were movin' way too fast When I was travellin' in your circle I saw the tombstones of your past

 

Finally found a resolution I know we can't go on this way Here comes revenge and retribution Turn around and hear me say

 

Now what's it gonna take before you wake up And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart If truth cuts like a knife The pain you're feelin' serves you right (Well it serves you right) Oh man cry yourself to sleep tonight

 

I finally found a resolution I know we can't go on this way So here's revenge and retribution Hear me say

 

Now what's it gonna take before you wake up And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart If truth cuts like a knife The pain you're feelin' serves you right Cry yourself to sleep, oh

 

Now what's it gonna take before you wake up And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart If truth cuts like a knife The pain you're feelin' serves you right So cry yourself to sleep tonight

 

Now what's it gonna take before you wake up Ooh yeah And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart Ooh What's it gonna take before you wake up And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart What's it gonna take before you wake up And what's it gonna take to mend your broken heart
