He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call anymore He waits to hear her say, "Forgive" But she just drops her pearl-black eyes And prays to hear him say, "I love you" But he tells no more lies He waits for her to sympathize But she won't sympathize at all She waits all night to feel his kiss But always wakes alone He waits to hear her say, "Forget" But she just hangs her head in pain And prays to hear him say, "No more I'll never leave again" How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last forever He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call He waits to hear her say, "Forgive" But she just drops her pearl black eyes And prays to hear him say, "I love you" But he tells no more lies How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last forever How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last forever
