Sometimes love is not enough.

Blackened sky a darkened night over the waters
That brought you to my side
Couldn’t help but wander over back when I saw
A spark in you I thought I knew

But those days fade to gray
Now that love is in a shallow grave
That hope we forsake
Never to resuscitate
It’s frozen cold
Set adrift at sea
It’s too late
We cannot be melted
No, even heat from our beating hearts could not save
Lukewarm lovers
Lukewarm love is gone

Why are we so cold
Why are we so cold

I’m sorry that it ended like this
You deserved better
But what I thought was our true love
Was nothing better
Than smoking ashes where there should have
Been a fire
We fought and fought to keep the flame
Never burned higher

And those days fade to gray
Now that love is in a shallow grave
That hope we forsake
Never to resuscitate
It’s frozen cold
Set adrift at sea
It’s too late
We cannot be melted
No, even heat from our beating hearts could not save
Lukewarm lovers
Lukewarm love is gone

Fade away
It cannot be saved
Frozen cold
It’s too late just let go
No, you can’t say that you’re sorry we were only
Lukewarm lovers
Lukewarm love is gone

Why are we so cold
