When he looks
In her eyes
He sees only
The truth
Telling him he's
Been living a lie
Over and over
Like a line
In a song
Bout all the love
He let pass him by
To her he might
Be the man
Of her dreams
To find where
She's been
Hiding inside
Broken or battered
It really don't
Matter
Her heart's like a
Wave and
She's the tide
They're not forever
They're just for
Today
One part
Be my lover
One part go away
He's like a
Boxer who had
To retire
After winning
But killing
A man
All of the moves
And none of the
Courage
Afraid to throw
A punch that
Might land
Not too much later
She can't meet
His glance
You see her start
Pullin' away
Over and over
Like fire and ice
One is color
One is grey
They're not forever
They're just for
Today
One part
Be my lover
One part go away..
If you know how
Why don't you
Say 'em a prayer
They're gonna need
All the help they
Can get
They remember
Too much
About what
Went wrong
It might be they
Should learn
To forget
Forget themselves
In each other
And leave what
Belongs in the past
Carry their hearts
Like a newborn
Child
Cause it's only
The moment
That lasts
They're not forever
They're just day to
Day
One part
Be my lover
One part go away
One part
Go away
Oh
Be my lover..
