It's Over

  • The congregation sang
    We knelt and prayed
    As we stood before God
    On that beautiful day
    The church bells rang
    And the champagne flowed
    As our friends gather round
    For the wedding photo
    But here we are barely five years on
    An' our whole world's fallin' apart

    All the plans we had together
    Up in smoke and gone for ever
    Poisoned by the lawyer's letter
    It's over
    I don't want our kids to suffer
    Can we talk to one another
    You were once my light, my lover
    It's over
    Rumours and whispers tear me apart
    That I know you better than that

    Inseparable were we
    With a breeze in our sails
    Now I feel a chill wind
    On the marriage that failed
    And I pray as I divided
    They've taken their sides
    Now they'll all sit back
    And watch the circus arrive
    I don't stand here tryin' to focus the blame
    But I'm hurtin' deep down in inside

    All the pain an' all the grievin'
    When did we stop believin'
    Too late now to stop the bleedin'
    It's over
    What's the sense in pointin' fingers
    Who's the saint an' who's the sinner
    They're ain't gonna be a winner
    It's over
    Oh, my dear, what happened to us?
    Tell me, where did it all go wrong?

    What's the use in keep on fightin'?
    All the tears, all the cryin'
    Why do we keep denyin'?
    It's over
    In all the time I thought I knew ya
    Don't forget our children's future
    I would do whatever suits ya
    Oh ye-ah!
    It's over
    It's over
    Yeah, it's over Writer/s: JOHN LOWERY, KEVIN SAVIGAR, STEVE HARLEY
