"The Next Day" lyrics

We made it clear from the start
We made a deal to save our hearts
Just play around and forget
To spend the night with no regret

But when I turned off the lights
She came to me with sincerity
She gave me all that she was
I took her in, let love begin...

But in the morning next day
She had to go, she couldn't stay
I never got to know why
She gave a kiss and said goodbye
But as she walked out the door
I saw the tears behind it all
The dying light in her eyes
A jaded heart that would keep us apart

Oh, I wanted to stay beside you...
Oh, I wanted to stay beside you...
