Honeymoon's Over

I remember our first kiss
like it was just yesterday
You took me into your arms
and made my fears slip away
You promised you'd always be here
You'd be by me every day
You'd stay with me and hold my hand
Said we'd always be this way.

    CHORUS:
    But now the honeymoon is over
    We're not dancing any more
    You said you'd never hurt me
    Now you're coming back for more

    You've blocked my way from leaving
    and you turned and locked the door.
    Yeah the honeymoon is over;
    We're not dancing any more.

My heart's tattered and it's torn
I run out into the night.
I'd rather face the coming storm
Than look into your hateful eyes.
Please don't tell me that you love me
And that you won't hurt me again
cause we both know that you're lying
This ain't a game that I can win.

    CHORUS:
    So now the honeymoon is over
    We're not dancing any more
    You said you'd never hurt me
    Now you're coming back for more

    You've blocked my way from leaving
    and you turned and locked the door.
    Yeah the honeymoon is over;
    We're not dancing any more.

It all started out so sweetly
You love me SO you just can't wait
You had to pull me closer to you
You told me THAT our love was fate
You said you'd always be my best friend
No one would ever cause me pain
You made me promises you can't keep
Now I run from you into the rain

    CHORUS:
    Yes now the honeymoon is over
    My body's bruised because of you
    You pushed and shamelessly you hurt me
    There's only one thing I can do

    I'm gonna run into the cold night
    I'm gonna let our secret out
    Cause I don't want another fight
    There's no more time to talk it out

The honeymoon is over
My heart's finally gonna be free
I won't stand here taking the blame
I don't accept that it's all me.
I know you'll chase me, send me gifts
Say that you only lost your head
And that without me you cant live
but if I stay I know I'll be dead

    CHORUS:
    Yes the honeymoon's over
    You've gotta look into the mirror
    I'm not coming back, not ever
    Funny thing is you can't hear

    You think I'll crawl back on my knees
    Or that I'll let you hold me close
    And this will all just fade away
    But this ain't love, it's just a hoax.

Yes now the honeymoon is over
My body's bruised because of you
You pushed and shamelessly you hurt me
There's only one thing I can do

I'm gonna run into the cold night
I'm gonna let our secret out
Cause I don't want another fight
There's no more time to talk it out

    ....Because the honeymoon is over
    ....Yes, the honeymoon is over
    ....Because the honeymoon is over
    ....Yes, the honeymoon is over
