Story Behind The Song
They used to meet here to profess the virtues of the love they made, but today he is tearing it apart slowly. You can see her teardrops fall in sacrifice for love's sake, can feel the world stop... can hear a heartbreak.

Lyrics
They met
Went Downtown
Ended up in the same café
Where often they would sit
Expressing love in their own way
And through the window they could watch the Everyday Parade
As he began to tear apart the love that they had made
CHORUS: And you could see each perfect teardrop
Fall in sacrifice for Love?s sake
And you could almost feel the World stop
And you could almost hear a heart break
Every empty minute lasted an eternity
Until he spoke again, confessing that his poetry
Was not a timeless oath, but just a lover?s game to play
He never meant it to be taken any other way
Once again she gave her heart away
To someone who thinks Love is just a game
Now she sits alone in the café
And wonders if she?ll ever feel the same
For Love can leave you empty and alone
To mend the pieces even as they fall
And Love can often turn your heart to stone
And is there such a thing as Love at all.
CHORUS
