Night after night
Day after day
I don't know what has happened
We've suddenly nothing to say.
Well, that isn't quite true
From my side of things,
I just get caught up in the silence
That your silence brings.
We used to talk,
We used to laugh,
Our own private jokes
Left other's thinking us daft!
We used to touch,
We don't anymore
I don't know if you've noticed
Many things are not as before.
I feel more like a roommate,
An acquaintance or friend,
Not the person you vowed
To cherish until life's end.
We're in the same room
We share the same bed,
But I know longer sleep
Your chest beneath my head.
I go to bed most nights
Sad and alone,
Quietly crying tears
That to you are unknown.
While you work on some project
I'm alone in our room
Waiting for it to end.
If you don't want to be here
Then you need to go.
If you don't love me
You need to say so.
It's getting to the point
Whether you go or stay
Will not really matter,
I am alone anyway

We've suddenly nothing to say.
Well, that isn't quite true

Not the person you vowed
To cherish until life's end.
We're in the same room
We share the same bed,
But I know longer sleep
Your chest beneath my head.
I go to bed most nights
Sad and alone,
Quietly crying tears
That to you are unknown.
While you work on some project
I'm alone in our room
Waiting for it to end.
If you don't want to be here
Then you need to go.
If you don't love me
You need to say so.
It's getting to the point
Whether you go or stay
Will not really matter,
I am alone anyway
