Because It Couldn't Last lyrics

In your eyes I see a sign of sadness on your lips I taste a touch of fear
You can ease my mind with all those pretty words you're saying
It's the worse that you're not saying that I hear
I can tell the time has passed for talking you don't feel that tingle when we touch
I misread your thoughts while you were lying there beside me
And I offered you too little or too much
You won't catch me crying cause it's over tonight is lost and yesterday is past
Truthfully I cannot say I'm sad because it's over
I'm just sad because it couldn't last I'm just sad because it couldn't last
