Lyrics
There’s words that I could say to you
But they’re only going on inside
And things that I could say to you
They only fill me up inside
What is this rumour that I hear
Tonight
What is this feeling I can’t hide
No No
Well you said it all, there’s nothing left
There’s nothing left for me at all
We talked about it you spoke about it
I wonder what it all was for
I hear two sides to every story
I hear
And I don’t know what to believe
I don’t
So now, now that the night
Is over now, now that the night is over now
Night’s over now
Now that the night is over
I just want to try to forget
Forget the feelings that I once had
Forget that we had ever met
What is this rumour that I hear
Tonight
What is this feeling I can’t hide
No No
Well you said it all, there’s nothing left
There’s nothing left for me at all
We talked about it you spoke about it
I wonder what it all was for
I hear two sides to every story
I hear
And I don’t know what to believe
I don’t
So now, now that the night
Is over now, now that the night is over now
Night’s over now
Is it in my head
(In my head)
Is it in my heart
(In my heart)
When I get the feeling
(The feeling)
Right from the start
But now I know
Now I see through all you say
All you do
Oh I never know
I never know, just what to do
What to do
So now, now that the night
Is over now, now that the night is over now
Night’s over now
Night’s over now
Night’s over now
