Hard Line

The day I took my love away
I swear I thought I heard
My own heart whispering
It's dying words
'Cause it's a hard line that you take
Take a lifetime to make it
Don't do it for mine but for your own sake
If you choose to take it
The day I let our love die
I stood by it until it's last... sigh
And disappeared from the scene of the crime
Locked away to serve my time
'Cause it's a hard line that you take
Take a lifetime to make it
Don't do it for mine but for your own sake
If you choose to take it
There's a great divide
Where a line is drawn
Oh you must decide
Which half you're standin' on
'Cause it's a hard line that you take
Take a lifetime to make it
Don't do it for mine but for your own sake
If you choose to take it
The day I met a new love
Well how could I be sure
Whether it was ever true love
That I had known before
