Expiration Date

The night I met you I
Said I'd never want to die
If I had someone like you
Cause how could death improve on that?

And I want it known
Let the record show
That for all my talk of love
I never once knew what it was until it left
Now in my dreams
Left me here
So alive
But without you by my side
But that's what I get
I spent my love on something with an expiration date

From sea to sea I'm sailing
The memories are fading
But I always see your face
Dancing in the waves

And now what's there to say?
So let the record play
Because all that comes to pass
Has nothing on the past it seems
I'm the queen
Of everything I've lost
But that's the cost
You spend your love on something
With an expiration date

The night I met you I
Said I'd never want to die
If I had someone like you
I hadn't thought it through

And now the seasons turn
And still there's nothing learned
Because I've still got your letters
And yes I read them twice tonight

I am here
So alive
But without you by my side
That's what I get
I spent my love on something with an expiration date
I spent my love on something with an expiration date
Spent all my love on something with an expiration date
