He feels alone in this place he calls his home His footsteps make no noise as he’s walkin’ down the hall And when she’s looking at him it’s like she’s looking at the wall He hardly feels like he lives there at all They walk by each other like they’re trying not to be seen Kind of like they’ve faded from each other’s dream Once in a while a flame flickers in the night But then they roll over and turn out the light What do you do when love fades away? Where does it go? What do you say? When nothing seems to matter much anymore When is it time to shut the door? The kids they have left now it’s quite around home She work on her projects he’s in the shop they’re both alone When they try to get together there’s always something in the way “We will try harder next time” at least that’s what they say Sometimes they get so confused And things aren’t what they seem But they know what they’ve been feeling There’s something missing that they need As they get older you can see the sadness in their eyes Are they just staying together cause they’re afraid to change their lives Is it their destiny to be together but apart Its gonna take a lot of love to fill these empty hearts What do you do when love fades away? Where does it go? What do you say? When nothing seems to matter much anymore When is it time to shut the door? |
