Say that there's no spark,
but you still burn me when I get too near
Say I broke your heart,
that's the price that you pay I feel
The kisses taste the same,
but your eyes no longer shine
Say that I'm to blame,
well that's just fine
Cause what you once desired,
now just leaves you tired
The love that once controlled you,
now has bought and sold you
One more lonely nightmare,
one more than you can bear
Don't believe it, but it's true
We don't act as lovers do
Cannot face your looks
I never said that
this would be too great
Into romance books
There's always room for the hand of fate
You take my breath away.
You took my heart and I made it mine.
Well, every dog has its day,
and that's just fine.
Because things that want you
mean soon become routine.
The words of love that matter
turn to idle chatter.
Doors that want you all through,
not just close upon you.
Nothing ventured, nothing new.
We don't act as lovers do.
Nothing ever lasts.
Scene changes from day to day.
Forget the past
Once my innocence away
I never heard you call
I'm just a messenger from time to time
I'll build up my wall
And that's just fine
Cause all that's ever passed
Will soon be gone at last
Just to be set free,
it means the world to me
Send him down the line,
for the final time
Don't believe it, but it's true
We don't act as lovers do
We don't act as lovers do, we don't act as lovers do.
