Ashes in Your Eyes

We used to set this apartment on fire
Now the rooms seem cold and tired
All the boxes stacked and the curtains drawn
Another love story in dénouement
Love is born to die, that's what the people say
Hearts fall apart each and every day
But I remember how you used to look at me
The way you'd say my name very tenderly, yeah
Now nothing is the same
You're standing there with an expression that says
All things must change
My body shivers 'cause your stare is so cold
Where there used to be fire, I see no desire
Just the ashes in your eyes
There's no warmth from the
Ashes in your eyes
Drunk at the piano, losing my poise
A bottle of something to drown out the noise
A cold telephone, but there's no call
Just a lonely song bouncing off the bare walls
Now nothing is the same
You're standing there with an expression that says
All things must change
My body shivers 'cause your stare is so cold
Where there used to be fire, I see no desire
Just the ashes in your eyes
There's no warmth from the
Ashes in your eyes
I was never one to fight the resistance
So now I bite my tongue and keep my distance
Freezing my heart to keep it from going bad, going bad, going bad
Just please don't look at me as if we
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever had a chance
As if we ever had a chance
To be anything more than what we are now
Because I don't understand
The where the why and the how
(The where the why and the how)
The where the why and the how
(The where the why and the how)
The where the why and the how
(The where the why and the how)
The where the why and the how
(The where the why and the how)
The where the why and the how
