Lyrics
Life brings me news
I knew it was coming
Everything gone but her toothbrush
She told me the truth
When I wished she’d just lie
Called me from the bed of her new crush
Well I guess it’s all right
‘Cause there wasn’t much left
Of the nectar we were drunk on
Lovers know how to fall
But to take the next step
Still haven’t learned
When the honeymoon is over
And things get real
There’s more space down the middle of the bed
Can I let someone closer
And not hide how I feel
When the honeymoon is over
Life brings me news
My lonely heart pounding
Turns out she still thinks about me
I tell her the truth.
This bird is flying
Headed for weather less cloudy
I could welcome her back
And return to the front
Of the battle between us
But there’s more fish in the sea
So it's back to the hunt
Still haven’t learned
When the honeymoon is over
And things get real
There’s more space in the middle of the bed
Can I let someone closer
And not hide how I feel
When the honeymoon is over
Falling Autumn leaves
Summer never stays
This fool always looking for Spring
But is new love ‘round the bend
Just another heartbreak
Will I ever learn
When the honeymoon is over
And things get real
There’s more space in the middle of the bed
Can I let someone closer
And not hide how I feel
When the honeymoon is over
When the honeymoon is over
