Tonight, I'll picture you and I,
When our love was as strong as the bright burning sun,
We held each others gaze for fun

Then came the fights,
Then came the storms,
Their shadows cast beyond our own
But you always took me too seriously,
I'll never forget what our love used to be
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old
Yeah I tried, but I just can't let her go,
And the movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old

Tonight I'll drive across state lines
To deliver a message to lay at your feet,
To show you I'll love you,
But that we can't be more than we are
We're trying too hard
Your shoulder this burden for so long
But you never gave me the choice in the end
I hate to be selfish but this needs to end

Then came the fights
Then came the storms
Their shadows cast beyond our own
But you always took me too seriously
I'll never forget what our love used to be
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old
Yeah I tried, but I just can't let her go and
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old

We don't have to count our steps in the sand anymore
In the sand anymore
Just like in a photograph
Someday we'll look back, someday we'll look back

Then came the fights
Then came the storms
Their shadows cast beyond our own
But you always took me too seriously
I'll never forget what our love used to be
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old
Yeah I tried, but I just can't let her go and
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old
Whoa,
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old
The movies don't show what happens to love when love gets old
