It's dark in this room
And I don't know just what to do
Should I pour out my heart with a third "I love you"

Cause you never say nothing back
In fact, you never say too much at all
No, I never learned how to react
I know you never learned when to call

Which leads me to the question,
Why are you here tonight?
For one more dark confession,
Or maybe one more goodbye?

So lay me down, lay me down
Kiss me on the mouth
Give me one more chance to learn what love is all about
Stick around, stick around
Let your troubled heart pound
Out to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
And pretend that you need me
As much as I need you.

I need someone to talk to
Just need someone to walk through all of these fake smiles
And fickle trials that I've pasted to my wall
I need someone to cling to
Just want someone to scream to
When I swear I hear shadows against the sheet rock down the hall

So lay me down, lay me down
Kiss me on the mouth
Give me one more chance to learn what love is all about
Stick around, stick around
Let your troubled heart pound
Out to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
And pretend that you need me
As much as I need you.

You saved my life, you saved me twice
You set me free
But out on memory lane
The colors never change
They just bite, scratch and bleed

So lay me down, lay me down
Kiss me on the mouth
Give me one more chance to learn what love is all about
Stick around, stick around
Let your troubled heart pound
Out to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
And pretend that you need me
As much as I need you.
