a turn of the key
and the door is pushed open, now
he walks into the room
but doesn´t take off his coat
kisses me softly
without saying a word, now
there´s that look in his eyes
that makes me feel the cold

when i try to find out
´bout what´s troubling his mind
he turns away and sighs
and says give me some time
maybe things would get better
if i learned to be patient
what i wanted was love
not an imitation

chorus:
and i know it
we´re heading for a fall
(for a fall,
we´re heading for a fall)

we lie between sheets
and he stares at the ceiling, now
me, i´m trying to sleep
but i´m trembling inside
if she´s haunting his dreams
then why don´t he say it now?
why stay if it´s her that he wants in the end?

if he tried to explain i´d try to understand
maybe i´d feel the same
i´m not sure of myself
we surrended so soon
in the arms of temptation, now
what i wanted was love
not an imitation

chorus
