You talk in circles in a sleepless daze
Back and forward, never change
Overfamiliar with the words you say
Tarnished silver, worn with age
I don't want to stay
It's so close I won't back away
Can't say goodbye
Does love have a half-life?
Like the headlights fading as they speed away
Does love have a half-life?
Like the daylight fading into lunar grey
Up against my fate
Will the moment come if I just wait?
(Can't what you say just make it right?)
Running out of days
But hope is hopelessly immune to pain
Your sense of certainty has been erased
Doubt unbidden takes its place
Is this the future that you thought you'd make?
Love transfigured into hate
I don't want to stay
To see my chance just get away
So say goodbye
'Cos love has a half-life
Like the headlights fading as they speed away
Yes, love has a half-life
Like the daylight fading into lunar grey
It gives, it takes away
