Falling Out Of Love

John Denver · Legends [2003]

This is what it's like falling out of love

This is the way you lose your very best friend

This is how it feels when it's all over

This is just the way true love ends



First of all there's no one to talk to

When there is they just don't seem to hear

Words don't seem to matter much anyway

They can't describe the pain

They can't explain the fear



Then the nights grow cold and hard to live through

Still you hate to see the morning come

Somehow tomorrow doesn't matter much anymore

The future holds no promise

Your life's already done



This is what it's like falling out of love

This is the way you lose your very best friend

This is how it feels when it's all over

This is just the way true love ends



The you find your heart no longer flutters

You no longer look through a lovers eyes

Whats to see when the world falls down around you

You simply can't believe it

But it comes as no surprise



This is what it's like falling out of love

This is the way you lose your very best friend

This is how it feels when its all over

This is just the way true love ends



What's the sense of failure

Its such an incredible loss

Its all the things you'll never do

And all the dreams that will never come true



This is what its like falling out of love

This is the way you lose your very best friend

This is how it feels when its all over

This is just the way true love ends

Oh this is just the way a true love ends

I don't believe a true love ever ends
