When a relationship that you thought was going to last forever ends.. this is what it sounds like when love dies. Ending track to forthcoming album. Different take on Prince's "When Doves Cry"

(This is what it sounds like when love dies..)

[Verse 1]
I keep picturing this..
you and I
Engaged in a kiss..
our bodies
Tangled in an..
emotional abyss..
Dreaming again..
of all the plans
We'd made..
they were all lies
Now, memories
that won't fade
Falling from my eyes..

[Chorus]
How could you
just leave me standing
All alone in this world
that's so cold?..
(So cold..)
Maybe I'm just
too demanding..
Maybe I'm just
like my father, too bold..
Maybe you're just
like my mother
She's never satisfied..
Why did we
do this to each other?..
This is what it sounds like
when love dies...
(When love dies..)

[Verse 2]
You built me up..
just to watch me fall..
Now, I'm shattered..
feeling nothing at all..
Your poison..
runs through every vein..
Feeding the beast..
fueling the pain..

[Chorus]
How could you
just leave me standing
All alone in this world
that's so cold?..
(So cold..)
Maybe I'm just
too demanding..
Maybe I'm just
like my father, too bold..
Maybe you're just
like my mother
Never satisfied..
Why did we
do this to each other?..
This is what it sounds like
when love dies...
(When love dies..)

[Verse 3]
No more tears..
no more pain..
I’ll rise again..
break these chains..
In your darkness..
I found my light..

[Chorus]
How could you
just leave me standing
All alone in this world
that's so cold?.. (So cold..)
Maybe I'm just
too demanding..
Maybe I'm just
like my father, too bold..
Maybe you're just
like my mother
Never satisfied..
Why did we
do this to each other?..
This is what it sounds like
when love dies...
(When love dies..)

[Chorus]
How could you
just leave me standing
All alone in this world
that's so cold?..
(So cold..)
Maybe I'm just
too demanding..
Maybe I'm just
like my father, too bold..
Maybe you're just
like my mother
Never satisfied..
Why did we
do this to each other?..
This is what it sounds like
when love dies...
(When love dies..)

[Spoken]
How could you
just leave me standing
All alone in this world
that's so cold?..
