When the Lights Go Down
Written by - Rivers Rutherford, Jeffrey Steele & Craig Wiseman
From - Cry
When the lights go down
He'll be fillin' a pan with a broom in his hand
In some dive across town
He'll be wipin' the bar an' moppin' the floor
Countin' his tills an' lockin' the doors
Wrestlin' the devil that tells him pour
Another round
When the lights go down

She'll be callin' her friends from her Mercedes Benz
But it's too late now
They were there for the fame, the flash and the thrill
But the drop of a name, the part isn't his
As another star falls from the Hollywood Hills
Without a sound

When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
An' wonder what you're made of
Well, we all find out
When the lights go down

When the lights go down
At the end of the day, when this game that I play
Has gone another round
As I lay there alone in this big empty bed
Nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things that I wish I had said
When you were still around

When the lights go down
Yeah, there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
And I wonder if, all my life's about
Is the sum of all my fears
And all my doubts
Yeah, when all the lights go down
Oh, oh

When the lights go down
Oh, an' there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
Yeah, an' the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
An' wonder what you're made of
Well, we all find out
When the lights go down
Ooh, when the lights go down
Oh, oh
