Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Look at us the picture of happiness Not so long ago, Ah, not so very long ago The pride of all our friends The perfect couple were we Is this how it will end? Just a sad sad story. [Chorus] Living in a house divided With a love that's so one-sided There's no chance at all The walls have got to fall Tumbling down Look at us the King and Queen of emptiness Living inside our castle of loneliness Unable to make amends Such perfect strangers are we Is this how it will end? Just a sad story. [Chorus]
