You don't touch me anymore You never say the words I love you You just sit behind your paper The silence cuts me like a razor I'm gonna leave you Maybe someday soon When I can give up this fight But maybe not tonight We don't talk much anymore Not the same way we used to Whenever I reach out to hold you You turn away What am I supposed to do I'm gonna say goodbye When the moment's right Like an eagle I will fly But maybe not tonight Can you just hold me In your arms so deep Want to feel you breathin' on my skin We fell out of love We can fall back in You never look at me that way So many times I've longed to say You used to brush the hair back from my face Oh god, how I miss those days You used to make me feel like someone Tell me where did we go wrong You were my best friend, my one and only love You're still the only one Just as I'm leaving you You walk in the room I see the flicker in your eyes We say maybe not tonight Can you just hold me In your arms so deep Want to feel you breathin' on my skin We fell out of love (how did we fall out of love) Maybe we can fall back in You don't touch me anymore You never say the words I love you I love you
