Is it cruel to be 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 darling please
Forgive me

But I no longer hear the music oh 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

But I no longer hear the music oh 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 fate in my mind it's all too clear,
Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone,
And with her my heart it disappeared

Well I no longer hear the music oh no no no no
And all the memories of the fights and the nights
And the blue lights and the kites
We flew together
I thought they'd fly 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

But I no longer hear the music oh 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 fate in my mind it's all too clear,
I no longer hear the music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone,
And with her my heart it disappeared

But I no longer hear the music oh no no no no
And I no longer hear the music
