Again I feel like I’ve forever lost you.
And there is nothing I can do to make that change.
Even though I search in vain for what to do
Loss and despair to me, no longer feel so strange.

There is nothing I can do for you and me now.
It’s over, t’was the reality right from the start.
A future together was more than the Fates could ever allow.
But why did they have to go and break my heart.

It wasn’t you who wanted this heartbreak to happen.
It’s just the way it had to all be worked out.
That’s how it is when you leave yourself wide open.
To the foolish hope that love’s what it’s all about.

But we’ve been here before dear heart, remember?
You came back to me even though you tried to stay away.
But this time, if you come looking for an ember
You will find no heat past this cold and final day.
