lyrics

The veil is lifting
And the tower is falling
I hear a voice
I hear it calling
I’m suddenly aware
Of all I fear
I’m suddenly scared
I’m finally clear

You never promised me
You wouldn’t break my heart
That was the end and this is the start
You tried to do your best
It’s not a game
It’s not a test

There is no shame
In what we had
It wasn’t wrong
And it wasn’t bad
But Love that is true
Has nothing to prove
Love that is true
Has nothing to prove

I never said
We’d never part
You didn’t know
How to hold my heart
There is no shame
In what we had
It wasn’t wrong
And it wasn’t bad

But Love that is true
Has nothing to prove
Love that is true
Has nothing to prove
Love that is true
Has nothing to lose
Love that is true
Has nothing to prove

I never said
I wouldn’t break your heart
This is the end
And that was the start
You tried to do your best
It’s not a game
And it’s not a test

There is no shame
In what we had
It wasn’t wrong
And it wasn’t bad
It wasn’t made to last
