The Way Love Goes

I wanna know, is this the way love goes? I remember how you used to wait by the phone Counting every minute that I was gone And you used to call me sweet things in the morning light After you would love me so tender each and every night Lately you've got so much to do and you're never at home By the time I get to see you, you need your time alone I'm too afraid to ask you but I need to know Is this the way love goes? Say it isn't so Is this the way love goes? Is this the way love goes? Right before my eyes Wearing a disguise I need to know Is this the way love goes? Staring at a photograph of you and I in frame When I blink my eyes you start to fade away Oh, I recall that day in fall and all the things you said All of the promises that you never kept Lately you've got so much to do and you're never at home When I finally get to see you, you need your time alone I've been too afraid to ask you but I need to know Is this the way love goes? Say it isn't so Is this the way love goes? (Is this the way our love should go?) Is this the way love goes? Right before my eyes Wearing a disguise I need to know Is this the way, is this the way love goes? Everybody needs to a love they can count on I'm the kind of man who needs to know exactly where I stand Stayin' up late at night I'm wondering how we can make it right Never gonna say goodbye I'm crying, find a way to stay alive Stayin' up late at night I'm wondering how we can make it right Never gonna say goodbye I'm crying, find a way to stay alive Stayin' up late at night I'm wondering how we can make it right Never gonna say goodbye I'm crying, find a way to stay alive
