a-ha — The End Of The Affair

[Verse 1] Even as the snow is falling Dark December nights are calling Memories of early warning signs Like a whisper in the mind I put my brave face on Robbed of the love I owned [Chorus] It’s the end of the affair We are not who we once were [Bridge 1] Hard to be open when all facts are in Hard to write endings before we begin [Chorus] It’s the end of the affair And it seems we no longer care [Verse 2] Absence makes the heart grow fonder Well I was fond but now I’m harder So here we are in somber silence With no one else but us to blame [Bridge 2] Hard to be honest when others pretend Hard to begin when we already know the end [Chorus] It’s the end of the affair And it seems we no longer care
