Eminemmylou - End Of The Affair lyrics

The ending's always sad When love moves from good to bad Wheels roll to a steely grave Crunching gravel on the way Where daffodils once lay Ringing bells of heavy clay And the heart can hardly bear The cold and loveless stare From the eyes that once looked fair And favourable to one And the mouth a petal froze Like doorframes painted closed And windows shut so tight Cutting out the soft fresh light The ending's never cried But a silent scream inside Makes it known that black is white That the world is dead upside That the love and joy before Is so much more than never more It's forgotten, never was An illusion, a dead loss Never mind the bitter-sweet It's a bitter bitter sleep Where the mind can never rest Trying to work out what was best You convince yourself it's right This love is stopped in flight Surely you must be right, that day is Surely night The ending's come again And poor heart, and again And the lungs cry when oh when Will it end or it end Defending the beat so strong in the past The organ of love now deflating so fast Pumping perhaps, but can it last? How long did it last This affair of the mind and the bones And the soul and the hair And the never ending eyes Willing everything to rise What hope now - the end of the affair More cruel because, the affair never was
