the way we planned it

somewhere along the way we ran out of things to say

now the silence of our days says it all

at some point along the line all the dreams we thought we'd find

we somehow left behind and now they're gone

i don't blame you

you don't blame me

so is this the way it's gonna be?

hey! that's not the way we planned it

that's not the way we planned our love

i just don't understand it at all!

what makes a love grow old?

what makes a heart grow cold?

sometimes i look at you and recall the joy we knew

when all we had to do was let love grow

and somehow it saddens me

all those lovely memories just remind me of what we would never know

i don't blame you

you don't blame me

so is this the way it's gonna be?

hey! that's not the way we planned it

that's not the way we planned our love

i just don't understand it at all!

hey! that's not the way we planned it

that's not the way we planned our love

i just don't understand it at all!

what makes a love grow old?

what makes a heart grow cold?

somewhere along the way we may look back on today

and be sorry for the love we've thrown away
