"The Breakup" lyrics

He looks at her, and he feels nothing
She's not the girl she used to be
Where is that lady of ambition
And never ending passion
For their dreams and beliefs?

Now all she does is smell the flowers
Never letting go of his hand
Long has he witnessed her wildness
Slowly give way to mildness
And drift into sand

And all this time, she feels so small
Cause he won't see they got it all

And she just wants to have fun
So she smiles at the sun
While he wants her to be someone else
But all she can do
Is to say I love you
While she prays, it's enough to be yourself

She reaches out but he sees nothing
As days go by, he's somewhere else
If she could only find her old ways
They would get back the good days
They both know so well

And all this time, he doesn't know
That love is slowly letting go

And she just wants to have fun
So she smiles at the sun
While he wants her to be someone else
But all she can do is to say I love you
Cause she knows it's enough to be yourself

He cries her name, but she says nothing
Within a day she's moving out
Gone is her gentle devotion
Her tireless emotion
The warmth of his house

He falls to dust, his pride is broken
The truth staring in his face
And in the moment of confession
He calls her name without possession
And begs for her grace

He pleads what do you wish from me?
Quiet she answers, don't you see?
I wished for us to have fun
And just smile at the sun
While you wished me to be someone else

And though we are through
Just know I loved you
Now I wish you will always stay yourself
