Here we are we're perfect strangers After all this time there's no more you and I But don't look for blame We've come so far to different places And now to try to live a lie would be a crime It's better this way And we may not have tomorrow But there's always yesterday After the love has gone Only fools carry on We've been hurting for so long And we both know that it's wrong After the love has gone Then we just don't belong We both know that it's wrong After the love has gone It's clear this far nothing to say now We sang alone and tried so hard to play the game It all ends the same Just words no more fill these spaces When love is gone it's only wrong to try again I know it's a shame That we may not have tomorrow But there's always yesterday After the love has gone Only fools carry on We've been hurting for so long And we both know that it's wrong After the love has gone Then we just don't belong We both know that it's wrong After the love has gone Here we are, we're perfect strangers Now to try to live a lie would be a crime It's better this way And we may not have tomorrow But there's always yesterday After the love has gone Only fools carry on We've been hurting for so long And we both know that it's wrong After the love has gone Then we just don't belong We both know that it's wrong After the love has gone
