*INTRO*

    
    

*VERSE*

ALL THE VERSES ARE THE SAME AS THE INTRO.


His body loved her
                    
His mind was set on other things
          
Keep your face out of sight
                     
And your thoughts to yourself

*BRIDGE*



And this went on for several nights

Festering in silence

Growing in the dark

*CHORUS*

                     
And this they saw as love
         
Looooovvvvvvveeeeeee
          
So sad to see
               
They suffocate at night
                    
Oh this thay saw as love
         
Loooooovvvvvveeeeeee
          
So sad to see
           
To see it slowly die

*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE

She met his wishes
He found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
And the bedroom too warm

*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE

The days are full of things to do
Night time lives so hollow
And memories betrayed

*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE

Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die

*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE

Two years have passed
Two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above
Show just how far I went wrong

*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE

I wonder if she's living there
The way that I recall
The way I'll always think of you

*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE

When I think of you
I think of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die

*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE

I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
No, I don't need her
I need her
ohhhhhh

etc.
