The day I took my love away   I swear I thought I heard   My own heart whispering   It's dying words      'Cause it's a hard line that you take   Take a lifetime to make it   Don't do it for mine but for your own sake   If you choose to take it      The day I let our love die   I stood by it until it's last... sigh   And disappeared from the scene of the crime   Locked away to serve my time      'Cause it's a hard line that you take   Take a lifetime to make it   Don't do it for mine but for your own sake   If you choose to take it      There's a great divide   Where a line is drawn   Oh you must decide   Which half you're standin' on      Cause it's a hard line that you take   Take a lifetime to make it   Don't do it for mine but for your own sake   If you choose to take it      The day I met a new love   Well how could I be sure   Whether it was ever true love   That I had known before
