Eminemmylou - End Of The Affair lyrics

The ending's always sad

when love moves from good to bad

wheels roll to a steely grave

crunching gravel on the way

where daffodils once lay

ringing bells of heavy clay

and the heart can hardly bear

the cold and loveless stare

from the eyes that once looked fair

and favourable to one

and the mouth a petal froze

like doorframes painted closed

and windows shut so tight,

cutting out the soft fresh light

The ending's never cried,

but a silent scream inside

makes it known that black is white

that the world is dead upside

that the love and joy before

is so much more than never more

it's forgotten, never was

an illusion, a dead loss

never mind the bitter-sweet

it's a bitter bitter sleep

where the mind can never rest

trying to work out what was best

you convince yourself it's right,

this love is stopped in flight,

surely you must be right, that day is

surely night

The ending's come again,

and poor heart, and again

and the lungs cry when oh when

will it end or it end

defending the beat so strong in the past,

the organ of love now deflating so fast,

pumping perhaps, but can it last?

How long did it last,

this affair of the mind and the bones

and the soul and the hair

and the never ending eyes,

willing everything to rise,

what hope now - the end of the affair,

more cruel because, the affair never was
