Not the Love We Dream Of

Not the Love We Dream Of - Gary Numan

Sometimes things don't work out

The way you planned

Sometimes words don't say

The things you mean

Sometimes you can't explain

The way you feel

Sometimes when we smile

We tell the same lie

With a whisper

Everything you know

Is torn away and life just stops

With a whisper

Everything you are

Just falls apart and dies

And all those things

That you meant to change

Are thoughts lost on the way to this

And all those sorries you never said

Are words lost on the wind

Did you ever wonder about the end

Did you ever you wish that I was still there

Did you ever call my name by mistake

Did you ever cry yourself to sleep

Slowly slowly

We lose the love that binds us

Slowly slowly

We lose the care that holds us

Slowly slowly

We lose the time that shares us

Slowly slowly

We lose the heart to save us

Sometimes things are not the way they seem

Sometimes friends are not the friends they seem

Sometimes time is not the cure it seems

Sometimes love is not the love we dream of
