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

All words lost on the wind

Did you ever wonder about the end?

Did you ever 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
