lyrics

sometimes i wish that i could just sleep tight
but i'm afraid to lay my head at night
through my pillow bad news travels fast
it's not the first time and it won't be the last

whoa oh, oo oh oh
fight off your demons
whoa oh, oo oh oh
break down the walls

why can't you tell me how bad it hurts?
(no no don't fade away now)
tell me how bad it hurts
(no no don't fade away now)
so tell me how bad it hurts you baby
i promise i won't make a scene

this could be nothing or a warning sign
but today's gossip is tomorrow's headline
a cluttered mind i'd run straight through a sieve
till i've got nothing left but hope to give

whoa oh, oo oh oh
fight off your demons
whoa oh, oo oh oh
break down the walls

why can't you tell me how bad it hurts?
(no no don't fade away now)
tell me how bad it hurts
(no no don't fade away now)
so tell me how bad it hurts you baby
i promise i won't make a scene

well are you chasing ghosts in a graveyard by the church?
searching for their souls while asleep at the controls

chasing ghosts, you play the leading role
searching for, something you can't control
chasing ghosts, climb out of the hole
you've got to break through

why can't you tell me how bad it hurts?
(no no don't fade away now)
tell me how bad it hurts
(no no don't fade away now)
so tell me how bad it hurts you baby
i promise i won't make a scene
