When I first met you   I walked you to your car   You said “let’s take a drive”   We parked beneath the stars   Because the night was clear   They shone so brightly from the blue   Now when I look up   Everything is clouded and confused      You used to understand   Without a single word   Now so much has been said   But nothing’s really heard   I want to put it straight   But I can’t seem to get through   I shouldn’t be surprised   When things turn out the way they always do      Failing in love with you      When I had to leave   We waited for my train   By the station wall   Where I carved your name   This time I’ve returned   And through my memories stand tall   When I got off the train   I noticed that they’ve knocked down the wall      Yes you can laugh   And I can pretend   But just as they start   So things must end   Failing in love again      You used to understand   Without a single word   Now so much has been said   But nothing’s really heard   I want to put it straight   But I just can’t seem to get through   It doesn’t mean a thing   As long as you believe that it’s not true      Failing in love with you
