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
