Heart Of The Matter
Is This The Way?
So this is where the story ends,
Exchange a lover for a friend,
I watch you leave, an open door,
You just don't love me anymore,
There's nothing left for me to say,
It wouldn't matter anyway,
We've said it all; it's in the past,
A love like ours, just couldn't last,
I watch you pack things in a case,
And look for sadness in your face,
A sign that there was some regret,
Do you now wish?
We'd never met,
You turn to leave, no looking back,
Secure the ties on luggage rack,
Goodbye my lover, hello friend,
Is this the way the story ends?
