Where Did The Beat Go? in Pink

I can hear planes flying over my head
Just hours before you occupied my bed
In our darkness, we conjured up sunlight
In our haste, our need, our thirst
We lost our sight
But I was inspired tracing the lines in your face
To the poetry the first time I heard your name
When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick drum
And it silenced the guilt I wasn't raised to hurt anyone

Uh oh does he know that I'm lying in the afterglow
That I'm lying but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy, while his paranoia grows
What he should be asking, is where did our love go
Then I wouldn't be baskin, in another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go?
Where is the beat?
Where did the beat go?

So how do I justify to the judge and the jury
The voices in my head that caused this fury
Never had to play with matches to start a fire
But it got so cold and I'd thought I'd forgotten desire
I was your concubine, and then your madonna
You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama
How long is lonely supposed to last
I was naked and waiting for you to come back

Uh oh does he know that I'm lying in the afterglow
That I'm lying but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy, while his paranoia grows
What he should be asking, is where did our love go
Then I wouldn't be baskin, in another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go?
Where is the beat?
Where did the beat go?

In another man's afterglow...

There's a cause and effect, although I took the steps
I dove off of the bridge cause I had nothing left
All I ever wanted was you
And in the absence of you
I fell through

Uh oh does he know that I'm lying in the afterglow
That I'm lying but I can't go, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy, while his paranoia grows
What he should be asking, is where did our love go
Then I wouldn't be baskin, in another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go?
Where is the beat?
Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
