As Lovers Do

You say that theres no spark But you still burn me when I get too near You say I broke your heart Well thats the price that you pay I fear Your kisses taste the same But your eyes no longer shine You say that I'm to blame Well thats just fine Cos what you once desired Now just leaves you tired The love that once controlled you Now has bought and sold you One more lonely nightmare One more than you can care Don't believe it but it's true That we don't act as lovers do I cannot fierce your looks I never said that this would be too great Into romance books Theres always room for a hand of fate You took my breath away I took your heart and I made it mine Every dog has his day And thats just fine Cos things that once you mean Soon become routine The words of love that matter Turn to idle chatter Doors that once you walk through Now just close above you Nothing ventured nothing new We don't act as lovers do Nothing ever lasts The scene changes from day to day Forget the past One smile and it ticks away I never hear you call Just a whisper from time to time I build up my walls And thats just fine Cos all thats in the past Will soon be gone at last Just to be set free Means the world to me Send it down the line Follow fine old time Don't believe it but it's true That we don't act as lovers do What you once desired Now just leaves you tired The love that once controlled you Now has bought and sold you Things that once you mean Soon become routine The words of love that matter Turn to idle chatter All thats in the past Will soon be gone at last Just to be set free Means the world to me Send it down the line Follow fine old time Don't believe it but it's true That we don't act as lovers do
