Lyrics

When we dated for the first time
Driving Daddy's Chevrolet
Drop the top and spin the wheels
And we'd be on our way
We used to talk about any old thing
We couldn't wait until tomorrow
Now you're going through the motions
And when I ask you if it's over

You tell me nothing's changed
But I can see it in your eyes
Why do you keep telling me those lies?

I know you don't love me
So why d'ya say that you do?
I know you don't want me
So why d'ya tell me it's true?
Why d'ya keep me hanging on the line?
I'm gonna get to the truth
It's just a matter of time

I used to hold you close to my heart
Watching night turn into day
Now you're like a fading star
So many miles away
Whatever happened to those happy days
It's been just a week but it seems so long ago
Now you're going through the motions
And when I ask you if it's over

You tell me nothing's changed
But I can see it in your eyes
Why do you keep telling me those lies?
You say you feel the same
But you don't want to hurt me with goodbye

I know you don't love me
So why d'ya say that you do?
I know you don't want me
So why d'ya tell me it's true?
Why d'ya keep me hanging on the line?
I'm gonna get to the truth
It's just a matter of time
