What happens to love?

What happens to love when it’s over?

When he decieves you,

Fails to see all that's true,

He packs his shoes, he packs his clothes,

Forgets the memories, forgets the oaths.

He waves adieu.

Love leaves too.

What happens to love when it’s over?

Love is warm like a crackling fire

Burning, fuelled by care and desire.

But, like all things on earth

It will dwindle away from its birth.

Love doesn’t stay.

Instead, love fades away.

What happens to love when it’s over?

True love is extremely rare.

Love that leaves was never there.

Love lodges itself within,

Constant, never growing thin.

He may go, leave you bereft.

But know, love that returns never left.
