When A Love Affair Ends

(album: Close Up - 2007)

I saw you last night I was outside your window
But you didn't see me I kept out your way
And you were with someone, he was holding you close
And the look in your eyes said all it could say

Do you want me to go, do you think I don't know
That I'm your second hand lover
And a heart never mends, when you build your defenses
Just to have them knocked over again
When a love affair ends

Well I called you today but the phone kept on ringing
And the operator said can I help you today
And I said, well no one can help me to hold back tomorrow
'Cause I have you my heart and you threw it away

Do you want me to go do you think I don't know
That I'm your second hand lover
And a heart never mends, when you build your defenses
Just to have them knocked over again
When a love affair ends
