She plaits her hair, I bite my nails
   We balance love on the scales
   I wind the clock and go to bed
   Our love is hanging on a thread
   She gets undressed, I undress too
   The draft is cold in my bedroom
   We cuddle up and say goodnight
   It's all the love there is tonight.
   I can't be brave enough
   She cannot say what we're feeling
   Day after day
   We're going through the motions
   We find it hard to let each other go
  
   She boils the eggs, I make the tea
   Outside the sun shines on the street
   We're at that point here love has gone
   The fuse is lit, it won't be long
   I take a walk, she cleans the house
   This is the end, I'm in no doubt
   But neither one of us can show
   The slightest sign of letting go
