Parting Should Be Painless

Its easy in the confidence of a warm heart
to observe how other lovers criticize
When their turn comes to part
They grow uncivilized
Wasnt friendship going to carry us
When love ran out?
Didnt we know
What respect was all about?
But now it would seem
(I didnt want it to end like this)
Thats all forgotten
(I didnt want it to end like this)
And I dont even know (I didnt want it to end)
When we lost the way
Oh no no no
Not me and you
Not we two
Oh no didnt we agree
Parting would be painless
Parting should be painless
I remember how in the safety of our love
We swore wed never let that state arise
And if one had had enough
We would be civilized
By watching we could avoid
The same mistakes
We would tread the soft way out
For the others sake
But now it would seem
(I didnt want it to end like this)
Thats all forgotten
(I didnt want it to end like this)
And I dont even know (I didnt want it to end)
When we lost the way
Oh no no no
Not me and you
Not we two
Oh no didnt we agree
Parting would be painless
Parting should be painless
Can it be possible?
Is it happening this way?
We are the same two people
Tearing up in anger
Tearing everything in complicated knots
Not caring, not giving, not giving a damn
Oh no no no
(I didnt want it to end like this)
Not me and you
(I didnt want it to end like this)
Not we two
(I didnt want it to end like this)
Oh no didnt we agree
Parting would be painless
Parting should be painless
Parting should be painless
Parting should be painless
Parting should be painless
Parting should be painless
