When Love Dies

When I saw you on the street, I almost turned away

When you stared in disbelief because I smiled and waved

Oh, the years have turned my bitterness into a sad regret

And it's good to finally talk to you and lay our past to rest

'Cause I have changed and you have changed, and all is forgiven now

And a long and silent last embrace shows our respect somehow

But it's okay to cry a little, I know where it comes from

These tears of sadness and relief when love dies in your arms

You were once my deepest pain, but you were once my friend

And a part of me was holding on 'til I saw you again

I couldn't bear to see it end with rage and jealousy

A feeling once so beautiful should die with dignity

And I have changed and you have changed, and all is forgiven now

And a long and silent last embrace shows our respect somehow

But it's okay to cry a little, I know where it comes from

These tears of sadness and relief when love dies in your arms
