THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES

Wake me up when it's over 

My heart is somewhere else 

Love has long vacated this body 

You are embracing emptiness 

Our love is nothing but a shell 

Perfume without it's intoxicating smell 

We had a choice of heaven 

But you choose hell 

Now you can experience 

The way I feel 

While you were gone 

My heart use to yearn

Lonely days and sleepless nights 

Locked in my cocoon 

I gazed at the moon 

Counting stars in the night sky 

With tears in my eyes wondering why 

You made me cry with your lies

Yet praying that you were alright 

Day and night 

When would you realize 

I have long said goodbye 

My heart belongs to another 

Someone you know

That's the way love goes..
