Too old to write long love songs

(Verse 1)
I think of what you didn't say    
and how I couldn't make you stay    
you closed the door on all our plans      
and found yourself a strangers hand    
you've made that choice so many times    
they act the part but forget their lines    
its a another stage and another play    
but the city lights still fade away.    
   
(Chorus)    
And I know she won't care   
if I'm standing there 
as she drives by.  
In a world where we belong    
the tune carries on  
the tune carries on    
as we sing our song.      
     
(Verse 2)  
The costume that you always wear    
will hide the mask you never share    
the make-up sees into your fears    
and all the lines of fallen years    
I guess you'll say you just don't know    
so should I let this summer go    
or hold your hand and take a chance    
by the lake where the spot-lights dance.    
     
(bridge)    
Now you're on your own again    
back out with your old school friends    
but If you could only look my way    
I'll find the words I want to say,    
Cause I know how it feels    
when time wont let you heal    
and you reach for something real.    
   
(Chorus)    
And I know she won't care   
if I'm standing there 
as she drives by.  
In a world where we belong    
the tune carries on  
the tune carries on    
as we sing our song.      
     
(Verse 3)  
You and I we know the same score    
we've played this old refrain before      
I can't love a Friday night song    
or write the words that sound so wrong    
remember when we'd take a ride    
and come out on the other side    
radio on and road ahead    
nothings lost till the engines dead.    
   
(Chorus)    
And I know she won't care   
if I'm standing there 
as she drives by.  
In a world where we belong    
the tune carries on  
the tune carries on    
as we sing our song.
