Branded

Things didn't feel the same
When I talked to you today
it all felt just a little different
I felt you were somehow slipping away

You said all the same things
But they didn’t sound the same
I just felt something was missing
There was no spark to fuel the flame

Maybe all the time and distance
Has finally taken its toll my dear
There is no me if there is no you 
And I cannot stop the tears

We have faced so many troubles
And overcome more than our share
But our love has held strong and true
Your love for me just has to be there

So if you no longer love me
No, I will not ever understand 
Upon my heart and my soul you see
Is burned your named just like a brand
