John Paciga - Clock Strikes Twelve Lyrics

August has come and gone
And you'll be leaving when dawn breaks
My whole body shakes
It's a terrible truth to bear
That I've been burning your fair skin
More than the blazing sun has been
Oh, heartbreak causes so much stress
I know I need to fix this mess but
I don't want to open my eyes and see the web that I have spun
I just want to take to the skies don't want to face the things I've done
Please don't get too close
The ones that do always get hurt the most
The clock strikes twelve
Maybe better times are on their way
But they won't be here today
Somewhere there's a happy ever after
Somewhere there is endless laughter
And I wonder why it's passed us by
I don't know the words to say
To blot out all the wrong notes I played
I just want to hold you now
Heartbreak causes so much stress
I know I need to fix this mess but
I don't want to open my eyes and see the web that I have spun
I just want to take to the skies don't want to face the things I've done
Please don't get too close
The ones that do always get hurt the most
The clock strikes twelve
Maybe better times are on their way
But they won't be here today
The air is thickening
My heartbeat's quickening
The pain is sickening
God help me
The air is thickening
My heartbeat's quickening
The pain is sickening
God help me
Somewhere there's a happy ever after
(Oh, I have no alibi)
Somewhere there is endless laughter
Somewhere there's a happy ever after
Somewhere there is endless laughter
Somewhere there's a happy ever after
(Oh, I have no alibi)
Somewhere there is endless laughter
Somewhere there's a happy ever after
Somewhere there is endless laughter
Somewhere there's a happy ever after
(Oh, I have no alibi)
Somewhere there is endless laughter
And I wonder why it's passed us by
(No alibi)
I don't want to open my eyes and see the web that I have spun
I just want to take to the skies don't want to face the things I've done
Please don't get too close
The ones that do always get hurt the most
The clock strikes twelve
Maybe better times are on their way
But they won't be here today
But they'll be here soon, I pray
Oh, I have no alibi
August has come and gone
