When You Know Your Love Has Died

(album: Chris Rea - 1981)

Me, I'm just running wild
Can't give you the advice you need this time
You say of her, you can't decide
And yet you sit and watch her cry
Friend you're like the wind that blows
Like the sea you come and go

I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
'Cos I know deep down inside
That you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of No 1.
So what am I to say
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway

When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
You've got to face up and show
What you're feeling when you know

Your parting words will be so untrue
Just as long as it don't come down on you
And you're scared to lay it on the line
Just in case you change your mind

I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
'Cos I know deep down inside
That you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of No 1.
So what am I to say
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway

When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
You've got to face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
