Right from the start You were a thief You stole my heart And I your willing victim I let you see the parts of me That weren't all that pretty And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh Things you never say to me oh oh Tell me that you've had enough Of our love, our love
(Chorus) Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
I'm sorry I don't understand Where all of this is coming from I thought that we were fine (Oh we had everything) Your head is running wild again My dear we still have everythin' And it's all in your mind (Yeah but this is happenin')

The way he used to.
Once a marriage full of love, now full of confusion and quiet silences
She wondered if all marriages go through this, if suddenly everything changed, the dynamic the passion everything
She noticed his car in the driveway and thought maybe this would be an opportunity to see if they could just sit down and just get all of their frustrations out so they could go back to what they had.
He wasn't in the yard, the office or the kitchen, she figured he might have sacked out upstairs as he often did after a long day at work but he wasn't there ..neither was his clothes
She immediately began to panic, he'd left her without a word, her biggest fear coming true when something grabbed her arms, pinning them to her side before she could scream, a voice whispered in her ear
"I've gotcha Red, and I'm not letting go,"
"Where are we going?" She asked smiling, feeling a familiar spark
"That's the mystery" …He whispered
