[Verse 1]
Needing, needing
All at once comes the silence
Begging, pleading
No more emotional violence
The withdrawal into pain
The result to never need again
Is this love? I think not
I want out

[Chorus]
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
(This love affair) It's so sad
(This love affair) What we had
Gone, gone, gone

[Verse 2]
Bleeding, bleeding
Then comes the recognition
Anger seething
I don't need your permission
And I don't know who you are
And this thing has gone too far
Is this love, I think not
I want out

[Chorus]
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
(This love affair) It's so sad
(This love affair) What we had
Gone, gone, gone

[Verse 3]
You're in too deep
You cannot keep
The promises you made
Our happiness was free
The end of love
The end of the dream
Gone, gone, gone

[Bridge]
And I don't know who you are
And this thing has gone too far
Is this love, I think not
I want out

[Chorus]
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
(This love affair) It's so sad
(This love affair) What we had
Gone, gone, gone
(This love affair) Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
This love affair is over
Gone, gone, gone
