We started down as one, side by side
A road I thought we would always ride.
But then dissension came between us you see
My heart was broken as you sought to be free.
Our love was like a complicated maze
  ...such are the parting of ways.
--I can't explain where our love went wrong
the words are hard, so hard for me to say.
--We traveled down that rocky road too long
you said good-bye to love and walked away.


The little matters we argued for, seemed so dumb
Then came a loneliness coupled with the boredom.
I couldn't see your problems clearly, though they grew
And the lies in your eyes with the words, "I love you."
Our relationship ended in a doleful haze
    ...such are the parting of ways.
--I can't explain where our love went wrong
the words are hard, so hard for me to say.
--We traveled down that rocky road too long
you said good-bye to love and walked away.


Though many years have passed me now
This love for you was kept somehow.
And even when I close my eyes
Forgotten feelings still arise.
I think about her through the days
 ...such are the parting of ways.
--I can't explain where our love went wrong
the words are hard, so hard for me to say.
--We traveled down that rocky road too long
you said good-bye to love and walked away


You walked away with a saddened gaze
  ...such are the parting of ways.
