Текст пісні
I have been thinking about us
And I'm sorry, but I must
Tell you what is on my mind
Those were the last words I recall
Time froze, from that point on
The world seemed so confined
The tears that crawled down your face
It was more than I could take
I think it hit me then
This wasn't really happening
It was just some sort of dream
And it had always been
Romance is just a type of paperback fiction
It is no longer real
Perhaps it never was
All we have today is plastic and prescriptions
And so the story goes
Just as it always does
It feels like forever and a day
I know she'll call me soon and say
Let's try and work this out
Life is so slow when you're alone
And staring at the telephone
I don't care anyway
Romance is just a type of paperback fiction
It is no longer real
Perhaps it never was
All we have today is plastic and prescriptions
And so the story goes
Just as it always does
Emotions are useless in this world
Lust is here instead
You never knew the difference between your heart and your head
In a different direction
One where we feel again
And we can love each other
We'll never speak again
Romance is just a type of paperback fiction
It is no longer real
Perhaps it never was
All we have today is plastic and prescriptions
And so the story goes
Just as it always does
