A rose is just a flower
Sunrise is just a day
The moon is just a boulder
Hung a million miles away
You said they were romantic
But I’m having trouble seeing what you see
There’s no such thing as romance
If there’s no such thing as you and me

A story’s just a sentence
A song is just a sound
And love is a just a rumor
Won’t stop chasing me around
You told me they were magic
But my dear, I have to disagree
There’s no such thing as magic
If there’s no such thing as you and me

If only one thing in this world was real
It was you, the way you made me feel
Tell me what can I believe and trust
If I can’t believe in us

Today is just some minutes
And tomorrow’s just some more
The future’s just what happens
To the world outside the door
You said that it was ours
But it’s fading like a memory
There’s no such thing as ours
If there’s no such thing as you and me

I can’t get by another way
You were my color in this land of grey
Tell me what is there to hold on to
If I can’t hold on to you

The heart is just a muscle
And you can’t say it ain’t so
If love can conquer everything
Then what could make you go?
I thought that I found Heaven
I thought you were my destiny
There’s no such thing as Heaven
If there’s no such thing as you
There’s no such thing as Heaven
In this Hell I’m going through
There’s no such thing as Heaven
If there’s no such thing as you and me
