Lights Go Out(lyrics)

lyrics
(Verse 1)
The street outside is twinkling, the town is dressed in white
I’ve shut the living room curtains, to keep away the light
I used to love this season, the glow of every bulb
A beacon for the happiness that you used to solve
Now I’m walking through the darkness, unplugging every strand
Of a fragile, broken future I can no longer command
(Chorus)
One by one, the lights go out, in this house, in this heart of mine
Sealing off the memories, leaving just the outline
The tree is standing silent, a shadow in the room
Drowning in the lonely, everlasting gloom
No energy for cheerfulness, no power left to fight
Just waiting for the moment when the last lights go out tonight
(Verse 2)
I take the star from off the top, careful not to break the glass
Remembering the promise that our love would always last
I put it in a box and seal it tight with tape
A final, heavy gesture from which there's no escape
The wrapping paper’s folded, the ribbon put away
I’ve cancelled all the magic of the coming holiday
(Chorus)
One by one, the lights go out, in this house, in this heart of mine
Sealing off the memories, leaving just the outline
The tree is standing silent, a shadow in the room
Drowning in the lonely, everlasting gloom
No energy for cheerfulness, no power left to fight
Just waiting for the moment when the last lights go out tonight
(Bridge)
(Music swells with a subtle, mournful string section, building emotion and sorrow.)
They say the light will find you, if you just hold on real tight
But I’m choosing the darkness, I’m embracing the long night
It’s easier to be in shadow, where the tears don’t look so stark
And the absence of your presence is just a quiet, empty dark
(Chorus)
One by one, the lights go out, in this house, in this heart of mine
Sealing off the memories, leaving just the outline
The tree is standing silent, a shadow in the room
Drowning in the lonely, everlasting gloom
No energy for cheerfulness, no power left to fight
Just waiting for the moment when the last lights go out tonight
