Lyrics

I know you sense it
That my love for you has passed
I can see it in your eyes
You know it's over

But you keep hanging on
Refusing to admit
That we won't be together
Forever like you planned it

You believe so much in the love...
The love we used to share
You keep hoping I'll get it back
But I just lost it somewhere

Chorus
I lost the feeling, it just slipped away
I lost the feeling, there's no reason to stay
I tried to keep the fire going
But the flame no longer burns
Losing the feeling is a pain that will always hurt

So why can't I tell you
That my love for you is gone
We've been through so much
And I've tried to hang on

Please do it for me
Break the ties that bound us all these years
'Cause I just can't handle...I can't take that look on your face
Or face those tears

Chorus
I lost the feeling, it just slipped away
I lost the feeling, there's no reason to stay
I tried to keep the fire going
But the flame no longer burns
The flame no longer burns
Losing the feeling is a pain that will always hurt
