The way we let the world destroy our perceptions of each other
The TV couples are always young
Wanting loving, pretty in the sun
The years cannot dim
The shine upon their skin
The smooth fit of perfect curves
Seduce us to the dark they serve

While we are real, growing older
The memory of us grows colder
Of promises made to each other
We forget kisses, reject our lover
Pushing souls into the shadows
The image of the stranger grows

Let's sing again the song we formed
When first we met, hearts warmed
Could you pretend for just a moment
That I was not your opponent
It is never too late to walk away
From the false dreams that won yesterday
