Only the Lovers
It's never been said
that our love lives on dead
It's never been told
that your heart borders cold
It's never been heard
that our vision gets blurred
It's never been spoken -
minds get bruised and broken
You see Only the lovers can know
when the love ceases to grow
Only the lovers can sense
when the past changes its tense
Only the lovers get hurt
Only the Lovers
