Other Side Of Midnight
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She dries her eyes
As she reaches for his photograph
Takes one last look
As she tears it into two
Just sixteen
She knows her heart's been broken
Tries to hide behind a smile
That tells you she's no fool
I know you're crying inside
But there's no place to hide
Chorus
Don't you know it gets lonely
On the other side of midnight
You're not the only one
On the other side of midnight
On the other side of midnight
You put your heart on the line
Baby tonight
She's read every glossy
Colour covered magazine
How boy meets girl they kiss
And fall in love
Didn't know that she'd be flirting
With disaster
Now she knows just what it's like
To take a chance on love
I know you're crying inside
But there's no place to hide
Chorus
You know it gets so lonely
On the other side
You're gonna lose your heart
On the other side tonight
It gets so lonely
On the other side of midnight
You're not the only one
On the other side of midnight
On the other side of midnight
You put your heart on the line




Yeah
On the other side of midnight
