The day I took my love away

I swear I thought I heard

My own heart whispering

It's dying words



'Cause it's a hard line that you take

Take a lifetime to make it

Don't do it for mine but for your own sake

If you choose to take it



The day I let our love die

I stood by it until it's last... sigh

And disappeared from the scene of the crime

Locked away to serve my time



'Cause it's a hard line that you take

Take a lifetime to make it

Don't do it for mine but for your own sake

If you choose to take it



There's a great divide

Where a line is drawn

Oh you must decide

Which half you're standin' on



'Cause it's a hard line that you take

Take a lifetime to make it

Don't do it for mine but for your own sake

If you choose to take it



The day I met a new love

Well how could I be sure

Whether it was ever true love

That I had known before
