Every now and then i get little bit lonely 
And you never come around
Every now and then i get a little bit tired 
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Every now and then i get a little bit nervous 
As the best of all the years have gone by

Every now and then i get a little bit terrified 
And then I see the look in your eyes
Every now and then i fall apart
Every now and then i get a little bit restless 
And i pray to something wise

Every now and then i get a little bit helpless 
And i'm lying like a child in your arms
Every now and then i get a little bit angry 
And i know i've got to get out and cry

Every now and then i get a little bit terrified 
And then i see the look in your eyes
Every now and then i fall apart
And i need you now tonight
And i need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
And we'll never be wrong 
Together we can take it to the edge of the night
And love is like a shadow on the other side
I don't know what to do and i'm always in the dark

I'm living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time i was falling in love
But now i'm only falling apart

Nothing i can do a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing i can say a total eclipse of the heart
