Apart - The Cure

He waits for her to understand

But she won’t understand at all

She waits all night for him to call

But he won’t call anymore

He waits to hear her say, «Forgive»

But she just drops her pearl-black eyes

And prays to hear him say, «I love you»

But he tells no more lies

He waits for her to sympathize

But she won’t sympathize at all

She waits all night to feel his kiss

But always wakes alone

He waits to hear her say, «Forget»

But she just hangs her head in pain

And prays to hear him say, «No more

I’ll never leave again»

How did we get this far apart?

We used to be so close together

How did we get this far apart?

I thought this love would last forever

He waits for her to understand

But she won’t understand at all

She waits all night for him to call

But he won’t call anymore

He waits to hear her say, «Forgive»

But she just drops her pearl-black eyes

And prays to hear him say, «I love you»

But he tells no more lies

How did we get this far apart?

We used to be so close together

How did we get this far apart?

I thought this love would last forever

How did we get this far apart?

We used to be so close together

How did we get this far apart?

I thought this love would last forever
