I knew you wanted to tell me
in your voice there was something wrong
but if would turn your face away from me
you cannot tell me you're so strong
just let me ask of you one small thing
as we have shared so many dreams
with fervor our dreams when planned
a whole life long
now are scattered in the wind
CHORUS
in the terms of endearment
in the terms of the life that you love
in the terms of the years that pass us by
in the terms of the reasons why
through the years i've grown to love you
though your commitment to most would offend
but i stuck by you holding on
with my foolish pride
waiting for you to give in
you never really tried
or so it seems like
i've had more than myself to blame
i've had enough of trying everything
and this time it is the end
in the terms of endearment
in the terms of the life that you love
in the terms of the years that pass us by
in the terms of the reasons why
there's no more coming back this way
the path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
they've tore the lifeblood from your naked eyes
cast aside to be forlorn
in the terms of endearment
in the terms of the life that you love
in the terms of the years that pass us by
in the terms of the reasons why
funny how it seems that
all i've tried to do seemed to make
no difference at all
