When I first met you
I walked you to your car
You said, 'Let's take a drive'
We parked beneath the stars

Because the night was clear
They shone so brightly from the blue
Now when I look up
Everything is clouded and confused

You used to understand
Without a single word
Now so much has been said
But nothing's really heard

I want to put it straight
But I can't seem to get through
I shouldn't be surprised
When things turn out the way they always do

Failing in love with you

When I had to leave
We waited for my train
By the station wall
Where I carved your name

This time I've returned
And through my memories stand tall
When I got off the train
I noticed that they've knocked down the wall

Yes, you can laugh
And I can pretend
But just as they start
So things must end
Failing in love again

You used to understand
Without a single word
Now so much has been said
But nothing's really heard

I want to put it straight
But I just can't seem to get through
It doesn't mean a thing
As long as you believe that it's not true

Failing in love with you
