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
