They must have loved each other once 
But that was many years ago 
And by the time I came along 
Things were already going wrong 
I felt the pain in their pretence 
The side they tried hard not to show 
But through the simple eyes of youth 
It wasn't hard to see the truth 
 
And in the end nobody wins 
When love begins to fall apart 
And it's the innocent who pay 
When broken dreams get in the way 
The game begins, the game nobody wins 
 
They must have loved each other once 
Before the magic slipped away 
And as their life became a lie 
What love remained began to die 
I used to hide beneath the sheets 
I prayed that time would find a way 
But with the passing of the years 
I watched as laughter turned to tears 
 
We used to love each other once 
With all the passion we possessed 
But people change as time goes by 
Some feelings grow while others die 
But if we learn from what we see 
And face the truth while we still can 
Then though the passion may be gone 
Some kind of love can still live on
