I knew you wanted to tell me 
In your voice there was something wrong 
But if you would turn your face away from me 
You cannot tell me you're so strong 
Just let me ask of you one small thing 
As we have shared so many tears 
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long 
Now are scattered on the wind... 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
In the terms of endearment 
In the terms of the life that you love 
In the terms of the years that pass you by 
In the terms of the reasons why 
 
Through the years I've grown to love you 
Though your commitment to most would offend 
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride 
Waiting for you to give in... 
You never really tried or so it seems 
I've had more than myself to blame 
I've had enough of trying everything 
And this time it is the end... 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
There's no more coming back this way 
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns 
They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes 
Cast aside to be forlorn... 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do 
Seemed to make no difference to you at all...
