Lyrics
When the lights are out, we are perfect
Expressing perfection in the absence of external influences, possibly in an intimate setting.
When it turns tonight, we'll be alright, alright, we'll be alright

When the sun is up, we are broken

Can't even fight, 'cause your leaving, leaving, always leaving

Leaving, leaving, always leaving

Leaving, always leaving

-What I gotta do to make you stay
Repetition of the plea to understand what it takes to make the person stay.
What I gotta do to make you stay
-What I gotta do to make you stay
-I see the morning light, without you by my side

Without you by my side, without you by my side
-I see the morning light, without you by my side
-Lookin' in your eyes, seeing nothing
Observing nothing when looking into the eyes, suggesting emotional emptiness.
And it burns my heart, but it's beating, beating, always beating
Feeling emotional pain, but the heart continues to beat despite the hurt.
I can read your lies, hiding something

You can't make it right, 'cause you're leaving, leaving, always leaving

When the lights are out, we are perfect

-When the lights are out, we are perfect
