It's The Lover (Not The Love)

(album: Hold An Old Friend's Hand - 1988)

He broke your heart and said goodbye
After promising forever
You wonder why you even tried
He was such a good pretender
The love you gave was all in vain
But nothing anyone can say
Could ever make you love that way again

It's the lover not the love
Who broke your heart last night
It's the lover not the dream
That didn't work out right
Of you listen to your heart
Oh, you'll know it's true
It's the lover not the love
Who deserted you

Don't stop reaching for the stars
Let tomorrow live inside you
And just remember who you are
Keep the faith and love will find you
A heart in love can lose, it's true
But don't give up in time you'll find
The one who's right will come to you

It's the lover not the love
Who broke your heart last night
It's the lover not the dream
That didn't work out right
Of you listen to your heart
Oh, you'll know it's true
It's the lover not the love
Who deserted you

It doe no good to second guess
Whether love is wrong or right
If it was really meant to be,
He'd be with you tonight, tonight

It's the lover not the love
Who broke your heart last night
It's the lover not the dream
That didn't work out right
Of you listen to your heart
Oh, you'll know it's true
It's the lover not the love
Who deserted you
