Maybe it's too late

Sometimes even hate myself

For loving you

Trying to be strong

Then night time comes along

And I start loving you, wanting you

Where is all my self control?

I'm burning way down in my soul

And needing you

Wishing I could be the man I try to

Hating me for wanting to be with you

Knowing you don't love me like you used to

But it's midnight, oh, and I miss you

It's getting late and I know

That's when I am weak

Funny how things have a way

Of looking so much brighter in the daylight

I hope to go to bed

And try to straighten out my head

And just forget you

Oh, but it's midnight and I miss you

It's getting late and I know

That's when I am weak

Funny how things have a way

Of looking so much brighter in the daylight

I hope to go to bed

And try to straighten out my head

And just forget you

Oh, but it's midnight and I miss you

It's midnight and I miss you
