Way across the meadow
You look so adorable
Wish I could read you from here
Send all your "hello"s
Done with synthetic expression
Just want to save you the tear
But you won't forget me, will you?
You just can't let it go
So I'm the one that has to be severe
Look behind the curtain
See how I've been hurting
Love is work, for certain
But, lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Pull me apart
You like to stitch things together
You can't sew us back when we've fallen
I wish I knew you better
I'd calm your stormy weather
Just so we could get along one more time
But you won't just let it go
You won't just set us free
So I'm the one who has to cut it off
Look behind the curtain
See how I've been hurting
Love is work, for certain
But, lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
Lover, I've been working
