the cure - apart lyrics

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 we won't call

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 foreve
