I knew you wanted to tell me
|
In your voice there was something wrong
|
But if you would turn your face away from me
|
You cannot tell me you're so strong
|
Just let me ask of you one small thing
|
As we have shared so many tears
|
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
|
Now are scattered on the wind...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
In the terms of endearment
|
In the terms of the life that you love
|
In the terms of the years that pass you by
|
In the terms of the reasons why
|
|
Through the years I've grown to love you
|
Though your commitment to most would offend
|
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride
|
Waiting for you to give in...
|
You never really tried or so it seems
|
I've had more than myself to blame
|
I've had enough of trying everything
|
And this time it is the end...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
There's no more coming back this way
|
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
|
They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes
|
Cast aside to be forlorn...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do
|
Seemed to make no difference to you at all...
