He waits for her to understand   But she won't understand at all   She waits all night for him to call   But he won't call anymore   He waits to hear her say Forgive   But she just drops her pearl-black eyes   And prays to hear him say I love you   But he tells no more lies      He waits for her to sympathize   But she won't sympathize at all   She waits all night to feel his kiss   But always wakes alone   He waits to hear her say Forget   But she just hangs her head in pain   And prays to hear him say No more   I'll never leave again      How did we get this far apart?   We used to be so close together   How did we get this far apart?   I thought this love would last forever      He waits for her to understand   But she won't understand at all   She waits all night for him to call   But he won't call   He waits to hear her say Forgive   But she just drops her pearl black eyes   And prays to hear him say I love you   But he tells no more lies      How did we get this far apart?   We used to be so close together   How did we get this far apart?   I thought this love would last forever
