[Verse 1]

It seems true love is so rare

Seems all I've known is deceit

Your laughter fills the air

Once more I'm sensing defeat


[Chorus 1]

And I suppose you're leaving me now

I was so sure now I'm so full of doubt

And I suppose you'll be leaving this place

Just like the smile you wiped from my face

This time

(Ih)


[Verse 2]

I always gave my best

Your memory serves you so badly

Some people kill for less

Yet I'd still die for you gladly, so gladly


[Chorus 2]

But I suppose it's my turn now

To play a scene that's familiar somehow

I turn the page and you walk away

Not even love could bring you to stay

This time


[Bridge]

(Walk away)

(So easy)

Once more I'm learning

In the depths of my despair

Your lies confirming

True love is so rare


[Piano interlude]


[Chorus 3 variation]

And I suppose it's my turn now

There's no more love only feelings of doubt

Gone with the hope your words have erased

Gone with the smile you've wiped from my face

Love is a ship we all hope to steer

Through troubled times 'cross an ocean of tears

A midnight sea that swells in your eyes

Takes just one look to know I'm still mesmerized

But I suppose you're leaving me now

I was so sure now I'm so full of doubt

I turn the page and you walk away

Not even love could bring you to stay

This time

Leaving me now

Leaving this place
