Words of Love

It was early days, we were seventeen
We were of an age, you know what I mean
Just a couple kids, and perhaps it's true
That it's not your fault, all I had was you
It was a mistake, just a bit of fun
When I saw your face, I knew what you'd done
Now you're standing here after all this time
Said the punishment doesn't fit the crime
Oh

But these words of love don't mean anything
The long years apart don't change anything
Tears in your eyes don't prove anything
And oh-oh-oh

There were promises that I took to heart
Whether at your side or a world apart
When I went away I was coming back
But you crumbled and stumbled off the track
Did you have a drink? Smoked a cheap cigar?
That's not what you do, that's not who you are
You regretted it and you regret it now
Yeah I bet you do, yeah I bet you do
Oh

But these words of love don't mean anything
The long years apart don't change anything
Tears in your eyes don't prove anything
And oh-oh-oh

It can't be gone from you
How can it fade so fast?
It can't be lost from you
Now I am lost
Now I am lost
Oh

But these words of love don't mean anything
The long years apart don't change anything
Tears in your eyes don't prove anything
And oh-oh-oh
