I Can't Go On

We signed a life-long pact, comrades against the storm,
those pages now are cracked, brittle, faded, dull and torn.

Where once there was trust, now a cold and empty space,
there's no hiding your disgust, in my sudden fall from grace

And I, I can't go on, if love is really gone.
If love is really gone.

I'm sure that at the core, my heart still beats the same,
of course a few years older, but inside I haven't changed.

Now there's anger in your eyes, in this season of contempt,
all you do is criticize, whatever my intent.

And I, I can't go on, if love is really gone,
I can't go on.

Under this mantle of suspicion, I can see no sign of light,
in this climate of attrition, I try but I can do no right,

And I, I can't go on, if love is really gone.
If love is gone I can't go on.
