Love Doesn'T Love Us Anymore

Love doesn’t love us, anymore.
Our pretty ocean shell has lost its roar.
We press it to our ear, but all we really hear 
Is silence.
‘Cause love doesn’t love us anymore.
Someone’s changed the lock on love’s front door.
Our key—it doesn’t fit, and on the porch we sit.
And cry.
Once was the time when love was in love with us.
We walked hand-in-hand through love’s wonderland,
But that was then—And this here is now:
Love says goodbye to the dreams you and I have planned.
 ‘Cause love doesn’t love us anymore.  
Teardrops never rain, they only pour.
We go our lonesome ways, 
But until our final days
We’ll remember:
That love doesn’t love us anymore.
 Love doesn’t love us anymore, 
Anymore anymore…
