Love Lies Dying
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh-oh-oh...

Call on me when you need someone to rely on
If you need a shoulder to cry on, call on me
Can't you see, it's time to face the facts
It's no use looking back, so let it be

And it's breaking my heart
Tearing me apart
If I could find a way
But what can you say

When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
We had nowhere left to turn
We can't keep holding on
When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
It's all over, save the crying
I'm not the only one

Yesterday, the fire still burned high
Now it's the flame that makes you cry
That was yesterday
Who's to say things are better left unsaid
Or would you rather be misled
Only you can say

And it's breaking my heart
Tearing me apart
If I could find a way
But what can you say

When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
We've got nowhere left to turn
We can't keep holding on
When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
It's all over, save the crying
I'm not the only one
When your love lies dying

We've had our share of pain
It's time to end this game
I'll be the one, I'll take the blame

If I could find a way
But what can you say

When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
We had nowhere left to turn
We can't keep holding on
When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
It's all over, save the crying
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Love lies dying
And the thrill has gone
Baby, won't you call on me
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
Love lies dying
And the thrill has gone





When your love lies dying
And the thrill has gone

There are professional singers out there living the Hollywood lifestyle, built on talent that wouldn’t entitle them to wipe the sweat from Steve Overlands brow. Pure genius. Please bring your show to New Zealand.
