Lyrics
Please sign your name on the dotted line,
My heart contains the price of your fine.
You don't have to stay,
I understand why you lied.
But I won't waste another moment of my time.
This is but simple love.
Oh won't you just wake up?
The road is long enough,
To carry on, carry on.
I heard the faintest sound of a voice.
It had the muffled tones of old joy.
His voice calls, I see you disappear,
Into the walls of this house, in fear.
This is but simple love,
Oh won't you just wake up?
The road is long enough,
To carry on, carry on.
This is but simple love,
Nothing but poison,
It isn't quite enough,
To carry on, carry on.
This agony is tearing me apart,
I can barely breathe.
It's hard to leave the one you love,
But I will be gone soon enough.
Soon enough.
This is but simple love,
But you won't wake up,
The road is long enough,
To carry on, carry on.
This is but simple love,
Nothing but poison,
It's never quite enough,
To carry on, carry on.
