Time was when I called you before we went to sleep
No matter where we were
No matter the moment, no matter the time
Time was when the words we spoke were always true
There was no need to lie or hide
At that time the answers we knew
There were no questions, there was no need
Our love was there to be believed
But in time the passion seemed to appear so obligatory
Time was when the moments seemed to last forever
Time was when we never thought
We would be anything but together
Lonely people in separate rooms
Lonely people with nothing to do
Lonely people just like me and you
So predictable, so sadly true
So sadly true, so obligatory
Just like me and you, so obligatory, so obligatory
If time will be a healer, then time will be my friend
And in time the shadows lift and I can begin to live again
But in the hollows of this aching heart
Remains a soul that was torn apart
And in time I will make a new start, oh, so obligatory
Learn to love again, oh, so obligatory, so obligatory
I will love again, so obligatory
Once upon a time it was easy to say I love you
I love you, I still love you, so obligatory
It all became so obligatory
