Can't make them stay

You'll just push them away

Feelings are like that you know

No push comes to shove

No help from above

They go where they want to

So

Although you fit like a glove

That don't make it love

Guess I must just let you go

Her eyes follow me as I move across the room

Her arms reach for me on hearing our tune

But working long hours won't buy real love

We spend our time on what our hearts made of

Now her eyes look away from mine

It used to be love she felt all the time

Loving sighs now sound tired

Her anxious smile, small, uninspired

Hands held loosely like bad fitting gloves

No laughter, long kisses, or just simple hugs

This dream is ending, just falling away

It used to be love. What now? Can't say

I go on falling got nowhere to land

She no longer loves me, my heart's in quicksand

Love has no plan, just a wild fire

Maybe grows hotter or burnt out desire

She doesn't love me, hurts so much to say

Her heart is changing like night into day

This love seems to be losing its time

Used to be love to her now is just mine

She's leaving so slow, it's hard for her too

She can't face what saying goodbye will do

All night, every day it's all I think of

Why must you change what used to be love

My love so blind, her loss hard to handle

So hurry now please used to be lover

Just blow out the candle

I can't make her stay

That would just push her away

It used to be love long ago
