It started long ago, you have to understand
|
we thought we'd make a life, we thought we had a plan
|
we built it like a house and filled it up with kids
|
the only trouble is
|
I won't be back again
|
|
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
|
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
|
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
|
something in my heart no longer could survive
|
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
|
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us
|
|
And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods
|
I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too
|
and somewhere in between we found the time for love
|
the only trouble is
|
it never was enough
|
|
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
|
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
|
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
|
something in my heart no longer could survive
|
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
|
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us
|
|
What was the sense in keeping alive
|
something that never made us satisfied
|
sometimes it's better to get on with your life
|
I don't believe in hurting each other all the time
|
|
Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains
|
and after all the nights have swallowed up the pain
|
then maybe we will meet, we'll find a neutral place
|
the only trouble is
|
what will we have to say?
|
|
Well something in our hearts will have to try and give
|
and something in our hearts will have to learn to live
|
together and apart without another war between us
|
