Song Lyrics

Is it cruel or kind
Not to speak my mind
And to lie to you
Rather than hurt you

Well, I'll confess all of my sins
After several large gins
But still I'll hide from you
Hide what's inside from you

And alarm bells ring
When you say your heart still sings
When you're with me
Oh won't you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no

And all the memories of the pubs
And the clubs and the drugs and the tubs
We shared together
Will stay with me forever

But all the highs and the lows
And the to's and the fro's
They left me dizzy
Oh won't you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no

Well I no longer hear the music when the lights go out
Love goes cold in the shades of doubt
The strange face in my mind it's all too clear
Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone
With her my heart it disappeared

Well I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no

All the memories of the fights and the nights
Under blue lights all the kites
We flew together
I thought they'll fly forever

But all the highs and the lows
And the to's and the fro's
They left me dizzy
Won't you forgive me

I no longer hear the music
I no longer hear the music

I no longer hear the music
When the lights go out
Love goes cold in the shades of doubt
The strange face in my mind is all too clear

Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone
With her my heart it disappeared

I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no
I no longer hear the music
