she's had all she can take
Of an unresponsive boyfriend
who's pushing for a break
And I know that I'm the bad guy,
but I'm bad for goodness'
is the times you have to choose
And oh, I couldn't force the issue,
cos there's still so much to lose
And you can lead a horse to water,
but it only thins the glue
that there can be no substitute
For moments when the fear has fled
Like love annulled my fear of death
And I gave the girl my body,
but it still was not enough
Because time is an investment
And you can't compete with love
So we'll live with these decisions
But it's this I will impart
But twice will break your heart
The moment when the news broke
came as hardly a surprise
For while we all know love lies bleeding,
yeah, it rarely ever dies
Oh, and romance wasn't really dead,
it merely closed its eyes
The fighting and the fortitude
The anger and the attitude
The lives we lead without
Ennulled my fear of death
And I gave the girl my body
But it still was not enough
Because time is an investment
And you can't compete with love
So we'll live with these decisions
But it's this I will import
You can hold on once, but twice
Or break your heart, break your heart
And the best of days will only prove
That there can be no substitute
For moments when the fear has fled
Like love annulled my fear of death
