Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't kiss me, darling
I want you to hear things I say
I loved you in my way
But you know I'm gonna leave you
[Verse 2]
The clock was always ticking
And your heart, yes, I know your heart, it's always on the run
I hate what I've become
But I'm still gonna leave you
[Verse 3]
And I don't think you should stay for the night
Baby, you know that my flesh is weak
You know I simply cannot sleep without you
My heart has simply nowhere to go
[Verse 4]
Nothing to hold
Those tears you're crying
Time and time again
You take me back in, baby
[Verse 5]
You don't have to make it plain
This is not real love
[Verse 6]
Look at us dancing, baby
Let's dance and show them all how close we are
The lies have worked so far
So we go on deceiving
[Verse 7]
But darling, don't you know the time?
Baby, look at yourself holding back the tide
Like you've got something else up your sleeve
That's why I've gotta leave
[Verse 8]
And I don't think you should stay here tonight
Baby, you know that my flesh is weak
You know I simply cannot sleep without you
But someday, I'll have nothing to show
I've nothing to hold
[Verse 9]
Oh, baby crying
All those simple things that won't come again
Oh, do I have to make it plain?
This is not real love
[Verse 10]
And I said this is not real love, real love
Baby, it don't glisten and shine the way it used to
This is not real love, real love
Baby, think of all the promises I made
On the day that I seduced you
[Verse 11]
Baby, don't wait for me like some angel of tragedy
Do I have to set you free?
Darling, you should be long gone, oh, long gone by now
You should be with someone, someone
[Verse 12]
Glisten and shine
You promised me
You gotta face it, woman
Ain't never gonna change me
Things ain't never gonna change
[Verse 13]
Where will I go?
What do I know about life without you?
You'd promise me you'd never leave me, no
This is not real love
