[Verse 1]
We have reached our fork in the road–just can't make it
Now, love just won't satisfy like before–just can't take it
And I know and you know
That we, we've been sneaking around
So come on, come on, come on
Come on baby–let's deal with the real

[Chorus]
(I know, you know, let's leave it be)
We're closer to the end than the beginning
(But you know that, love)
Was never meant to last
Stop the lies, just who are we kidding?
Lеt's not try to cling to the past

[Verse 2]
Time is promised to no onе–it's only borrowed for a while
Surely, we've had our place in the sun
Now shadows dance in the twilight of our lost romance
Uh-huh, so come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Why don't you say what you feel?

[Chorus]
(Ooh child)
Closer to the end, than the beginning
(But you know that, love)
We both fear the last goodbye
It hurts to think that we were so willing
To let such a strong thing die
[Outro]
Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Closer to the end...
