Broken End Of Love

Line of sight, speed of sound Feel of flesh the long way down Flash of light you look around it's over You're OK, but I'm a mess It's the way it goes I guess I think I thought we would last forever What am I gonna do about this It ain't no metamorphosis It's the cold and bitter broken end of love Discontent with love's refrain Is something that I can't explain I see now I should have seen it coming It hit us like a hurricane And ripped the coast with fiery rain And I kept holding on in vain to nothing What am I gonna do about this It ain't no metamorphosis It's the cold and bitter broken end of love And I wonder if you felt this way From our first kiss to that last day And I was but a fool of trust and pleasure And I'll keep your love where love won't die So said the spider to the fly But dead love is the only love you treasure What am I gonna do about this It ain't no metamorphosis It's the cold and bitter broken end of love I'm lucky just to be alive It serves me right that I survive And live to tell the lesson that you taught me So you know for what it's worth There ain't enough love on earth To take away all the shame you brought me What am I gonna do about this It ain't no metamorphosis It's the cold and bitter broken end of love (Hey now) What am I gonna do about this It ain't no metamorphosis It's the cold and bitter broken end of love End of love --- Broken End Of Love - Robert Earl Keen
