Seems to make no difference to you at all
As we have shared so many tears
In the terms of endearment
They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes
There's no more coming back this way
In the terms of endearment
Oh you never really tried or so it seems
In the terms of the reasons why
In the terms of the years that pass you by
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
I've, I've had more than myself to blame
Though your commitment to most would offend
Cast aside to be forlorn
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the reasons why
In the terms of endearment
Just let me ask of you one small thing
Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do
I've had enough of trying everything
In the terms of the reasons why
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the life that you love
You cannot tell me you're so strong
In the terms of the years that pass you by
But if you would turn your face away from me
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the life that you love
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
Waiting for you to give in
Now are scattered on the wind
In the terms of the reasons why
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride
Through the years I've grown to love you
In the terms of endearment
And this time it is the end
In the terms of the years that pass you by
