Lyrics
She woke up, I turned around, she was walking out the door without a sound
And I didn't even know why she was leaving, she was going,
And I didn't even know why she was going
We'd talked a while the night before about dreams and other things that meant much more to her than me, but I was day dreaming, I didn't catch her meaning
yes she talked a while but I didn't catch her meaning
Chorus: Living in love is harder than being in love
One small mistake can take away all of the happiest days,
all of the happiest days
I wait beside the open door alone, with just the tv glow to guide me to the telephone
But it's not ringing, deaf to my pleading, I sit beside the silent phone not ringing
Chorus: Living in love is harder than being in love
One small mistake can take away all of the happiest days,
all of the happiest days
