You tried so hard to love me
All I did was make you tired
You wanted someone to perform with
I just wanted to be admired
And I was that for a while
You gave up all you had to give me
Gotten used to sad surprise
So I knew you saw it coming
When I couldn't look you in the eye
What was the last thing that you said
As you picked up your coat and left
I heard you say oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Some bonds are made to break
And ships to sail
Don't curse that line of love that made you fail (no, no)
You were so high above me
That I could never love you then
So we got used to all the silence
'Til the years came and they went
All good and bad things fade with time
I hope your heart grew back like mine
But if not
Oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Some bonds are made to break
And ships to sail
Don't curse that line of love that made us fail (no, no)
And now I lose myself in daydreams
That never feel like my own
The past it keeps me like a prisoner
Tied to a cold, nostalgic stone
And I cry out for something new
These days it's all I ever do
But it never seems to come
I'll be a ghost until I'm done
And they say
Oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Some bonds are made to break
And ships to sail
I won't curse that line of love that made me fail (no, no)
Oh well, no no
Oh well, no no
Oh well, no, no
Oh well
