the issues we dance with
time after time
the taking of chances
we oft do in life
it's not about you
it's more i, me, mine
if you must know the truth
it's love in decline

different as day
dark as the night
giving so much away
in hopes that we might
secure for ourselves
our own selfish desires
when over time we find
love in decline

with fists raised in anger
we fuss and we fight
not seeing the danger
in the warning signs
you can ask for it all
then hold it all tight
but still we'll all fall
with love in decline
