When Romance Is Dead

You'll know when romance is dead
 Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed
 His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown
 From the shed to the bed is a web you call home
 You'll know when romance is dead
 That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed
 Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice
 From the bedroom to the bathroom you say everything twice
 Everything twice
 And you'll know when love starts to fade
 You'll burst into tears at each record that's played
 He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade
 You'll know when love starts to fade
 You'll know when romance is dead
 From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head
 Whenever you touch her, she tuts or she sighs
 One kiss goodnight and she's rolling her eyes
 Rolling her eyes
 And you'll know when love starts to fade
 That balancing act is no longer made
 Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade
 It's not what you're worth it's the way that you're laid
 You'll know when love starts to fade
 Like you knew when romance was alive
 Each couple you passed, they'd smile and high five
 Like you'll know when love's back on track
 Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack
 Giggle and cackle and throw her head back
 Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black
 Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack
 Neck is all slack
 You'll know when love's on the rocks
 You wearing headphones, him vest and socks
 You'll know when love's on the slide
 Whenever you're talking, the kids go outside
 Kids go outside
 And you'll know when romance is dead
 When the look that you get is as hard as the bread
 You open your mouth, but your stories are stale
 From front door to back door it's blowing a gale
 You'll know when love starts to fade
