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...
