Used To Be Love

Can't make them stay
You'll just push them away
Feelings are like that you know
No push comes to shove
No help from above
They go where they want to
So
Although you fit like a glove
That don't make it love
Guess I must just let you go

Her eyes follow me as I move across the room
Her arms reach for me on hearing our tune
But working long hours won't buy real love
We spend our time on what our hearts made of
Now her eyes look away from mine
It used to be love she felt all the time

Loving sighs now sound tired
Her anxious smile, small, uninspired
Hands held loosely like bad fitting gloves
No laughter, long kisses, or just simple hugs

This dream is ending, just falling away
It used to be love. What now? Can't say

I go on falling got nowhere to land
She no longer loves me, my heart's in quicksand

Love has no plan, just a wild fire
Maybe grows hotter or burnt out desire
She doesn't love me, hurts so much to say
Her heart is changing like night into day

This love seems to be losing its time
Used to be love to her now is just mine

She's leaving so slow, it's hard for her too
She can't face what saying goodbye will do

All night, every day it's all I think of
Why must you change what used to be love
My love so blind, her loss hard to handle
So hurry now please used to be lover
Just blow out the candle

I can't make her stay
That would just push her away
It used to be love long ago
