Slipping away 'til it's dim in the dark The flame that was strong has become just a spark
Now when we talk your eyes look away The thing that we had has wandered astray
Further and further we're drifting apart We knew this would happen right from start
Caught up in troubles that don't mean a thing You're ready to fly for a prayer on a wing
Say you were never in love with me But I'll still wait for you
Oh, it's just the way it's meant to be You tell me no but in won't be long before you see You're walking back to me
The road you are following it's a dead end And who will be there when you need a real friend How are we gonna get back to the start They're too close to home these matters of heart
Say you were never in love with me But I'll still wait for you
Oh, it's just the way it's meant to be You tell me no but in won't be long before you see You're walking back to me You're walking back to me
Ducking and diving, sneaking and hiding These worries and these troubles Don't you know they'll catch up with you? You're walking back to me
Oh, it's just the way it's meant to be You tell me no but in won't be long before you see You're walking back to me
