They must have loved each other once
But that was many years ago
And by the time I came along

Things were already going wrong
I felt the pain in their pretence
The side they tried hard not to show

But through the simple eyes of youth
It wasn't hard to see the truth


And in the end nobody wins
When love begins to fall apart
And it's the innocent who pay

When broken dreams get in the way
The game begins, the game nobody wins


They must have loved each other once
Before the magic slipped away
And as their life became a lie

What love remained began to die
I used to hide beneath the sheets
I prayed that time would find a way

But with the passing of the years
I watched as laughter turned to tears


We used to love each other once
With all the passion we possessed
But people change as time goes by

Some feelings grow while others die
But if we learn from what we see
And face the truth while we still can

Then though the passion may be gone
Some kind of love can still live on
