Lyrics
The light is growing dimmer
And the fire is growing cold
Neither of us is getting any better
I'm just getting old
Our love is wearing thinner
Our smiles have worn away
Neither of us is turning over any new leaves
Small talk is the biggest thing we have to say
I don't know how I can live with you another day longer
But if I leave I know I can't live with myself
You've done a bang-up job of banging up my heart
But I made a vow
'Til death do us part
The grass ain't any greener
On the other side of this hill
The good days are getting leaner
And the bad days - well, I've had my fill
Some days there's awkward conversation
Mostly we're two trains passing in the night
Neither of us knows our destination
And I guess neither of us cares to make it right
I don't know how I can live with you another day longer
But if I leave I know I can't live with myself
You've done a bang-up job of banging up my heart
But I made a vow
'Til death do us part
I made a vow
'Til death do us part
