about

A song about a relationship that was doomed from the beginning.

lyrics

It ain't easy, to watch the weather as it turns your life around.
It's the changing, that makes each thing I feel,
Feel like I'm losing my ground.
Oh, I knew she was leaving
So I sat down on the floor
And I watched her walk away.
-Alyce says that's not what you should say.

I started dreaming and I let emotion walk all over me.
It's believing that makes each word she says
Say exactly what she means.
Oh, now she's leaving and
Even though I knew she would,
I didn't think it would be today.
-Alyce says that's not what you should say.

That's not what you should say.
We'll do anything to make ourselves believe it's love.
That's not what you should say-
So I said thank you.

It's in the evening; she sees the world the way it shines down in her eyes
And in the sunrise, she paints herself a life
As it spreads across the sky.
She said she's leaving
So, I met her at the door
And told her she should stay
And Alyce says that's not what you should say.

That's not what you should say.
We'll do anything to make ourselves believe it's love.
That's not what you should say-
So I said I'm sorry!

You made me feel loved,
I made you feel loved
But this is anything but love
So I'm sorry...
