Because it couldn't last

Because it couldn't last Lyrics

(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...
