lyrics

She was beautiful, he was debonnaire
Life was wonderful, no one ever had a care
They were so in love, straight out of some fairytale
No clouds up above, no way they could ever fail

But they took it all for granted
Too many things were left unsaid
Now they’re barely hanging by a thread

You’ve got to feed love otherwise it withers and dies
Looses the feel ‘cause you’ve severed all emotional ties
It’s like a disease, the tumour of complacency
And now their love is just another fait accompli

Now she’s dutiful, he’s hardly ever there
Life’s nothing special and nobody seems to care
That they were once in love, it felt like a fairytale
Now storm clouds up above have silenced the nightingale

‘Cause they took it all for granted
Too many things were left unsaid
Now they’re barely hanging by a thread

You’ve got to feed love otherwise it withers and dies
Looses the feel ‘cause you’ve severed all emotional ties
It’s like a disease, the tumour of complacency
And now their love is just another fait accompli

How they blew it all, blissfully unaware
That love’s something special, they know now it isn’t there
They know if they could choose they’d bring back the fairytale
Now all that they can do is cling by their fingernails

‘Cause they took it all for granted
Too many things were left unsaid
Now they’re barely hanging by a thread

You’ve got to feed love otherwise it withers and dies
Looses the feel ‘cause you’ve severed all emotional ties
It’s like a disease, the tumour of complacency
And now their love is just another fait accompli
