Because It Couldn't Last

(Charles Rogers)



In your eyes I see a sign of sadness

On your lips I taste a touch of fear

You can ease my mind with

All those pretty words you're saying

It's the words that you're not saying that I hear.



I can tell the time has passed for talking

You don't feel that tingle when we touch

I misread your thoughts

While you were lying there beside me

And I offered you too little or too much.



You won't catch me crying 'cause it's over

Tonight is lost and yesterday is past

Truthfully I cannot say I'm sad because it's over

I'm just sad because it couldn't last.



I'm just sad because it couldn't last...
