When Love Is Over

I know I ask for nothing

And that's what I got from you tonight

I guess I thought you'd changed

Leaving becomes too easy

Easy by morning light

I still cannot explain

Is it enough to ask and not receive

Just one more kiss before you turn and leave

When love is over

Over it should be

But something still burns in me

A hundred solid reasons

The answers come in waves

But I'm all for calmer seas

You're only lost in the shuffle

But in your usual way

It's you who always comes to me

I've burned up pages

Hidden yesterdays

Here's one more glance before I turn away

When love is over

Over it should stay

But something won't go away

Hardly a moment passes

Hardly a single day goes by

I'm not remembering

Just to surrender slowly

Into a stranger's arms

But you stand watching in the wings

These must be days we've seen through tear-filled eyes

It all makes painful sense when I realize

When love is over

Something has to die

Cause you can say goodbye
