We Were lovers once
When I look at you now
I find it hard to see
The person I fell in love with
All those years ago
The years have taken their toll
On both you and me I know
But I still wonder who you are
And how you fit into my life
When we first met we were lovers
When we first met we friends
But we seem to have drifted so far apart
I don't know what we are anymore
You look at me with disdain
You look at me with disgust
Please tell me why we are still together
Is it from a sense of honour
There are moments of love between us
But these are few and far apart
The love we once had is so far gone
I don't know how it can be repaired
I wish we could sort something out
I wish we could perhaps start again
But I know we are fighting a losing battle
As love closes its doors one more time
I find it hard to see
The person I fell in love with
All those years ago
The years have taken their toll
On both you and me I know
But I still wonder who you are
And how you fit into my life
When we first met we were lovers
When we first met we friends
But we seem to have drifted so far apart
I don't know what we are anymore
You look at me with disdain
You look at me with disgust
Please tell me why we are still together
Is it from a sense of honour
There are moments of love between us
But these are few and far apart
The love we once had is so far gone
I don't know how it can be repaired
I wish we could sort something out
I wish we could perhaps start again
But I know we are fighting a losing battle
As love closes its doors one more time
