Lyrics by Sarah Mclachlan (Terms)


I knew you wanted to tell me...
In your voice there was something wrong?
But if you would turn... your face away from me,
You cannot tell me you’re so strong?

Just let me ask of you... one small thing?
As we've shared so many tears...
With fervor our dreams... we planned a whole life long!
Now are scattered on the wind...

Chorus
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why

Through the years I’ve grown to love you...
Though your commitment... to most would offend,
But I stuck by you! holding on with my foolish pride...?!
Waiting for you... to give in...

You never really tried... or so it seems?
I’ve had more than myself to blame... (!?)
I’ve had enough of trying everything!
And this time... it is the end...

Chorus

There’s no more coming back... this way!
The path is overgrown... and strewn with thorns!
They’ve torn the life-blood... from your naked eyes!?
Cast aside... to be forlorn...

Chorus

Funny, how it seems that... all I’ve tried to do... seems to make no difference... to you... at all... and yet... I've tried... oh... I try...
