Romance is Dead

Verse 1

We wake and we fake , platitudes spoken for fears sake
We kiss as we part, go through a ritual without heart
Chorus 1

So many words but were not talking, the sonnets stagnant in my head
Going nowhere just sleep walking, let’s face it the romance is dead

Verse 2
When with friends all seems OK, beneath the smiles feelings fray
On social media all likes and tweets, swiftly followed by Alt deletes

Chorus 2
We are going through the motions, driving home fills me with dread
The silence is shouting volumes, let face it the romance is dead
Verse 3
It’s all work and no play; we have so much debt to pay
All the effort it’s a crime, so ring the bell let’s call time
Chorus 3
If only they never mattered, all the sonnets versed my head
Though we feel so shattered, bring romance back from the dead

Chorus 4
Surrender cut free our burdens, push this shipwreck off the reef
Hold the final curtain, perhaps romance can breathe

Chorus 5
Together we could capture, that magic we used to strive
Recreate the rapture, our romance it is alive

Adlib Lyrics
All the love we have cannot be denied
It just its way in the day to day slide
And all that was precious succumbed to mundane
As pictures pass frame to frame
