So you're taking it
On the chin
Looks like he's
Working late again
But you don't want to fight
You find it easier
To let things slide
So you pour a glass of wine
And read a book
It's your last chance
For romance

(refrão)
Day by day you keep
Pretending that
Nothing's wrong
But you're just
Deceiving yourself
You've been indifferent
Way too long
Oh don't you know
Once your heart was filled
With passion
Until you took it all
For granted
And now it comes
As no surprise
Tonight there's
Trouble in paradise

So you bury yourself
In work
It keeps your mind off
How much it hurts
'causes there's no love
Left at home
Even when he's with you
You're still alone
You want to reach out but
You don't know where
To start
It's easier not to talk at all

(repete refrão)

You want to reach out but
You don't know where
To start

Once your heart was filled
With passion
Until you took it all
For granted
And now it comes
As no surprise
Tonight there's
Trouble in paradise
