A-ha The End of the Affair song lyrics

Even as the snow is falling

Dark December nights are calling

Memories of early warning signs

Like a whisper in the mind

I put my brave face on

Robbed of the love I owned

It's the end of the affair

We are not who we once were

Hard to be open when all facts are in

Hard to write endings before we begin

It's the end of the affair

And it seems we no longer care

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Well I was fond but now I'm harder

So here we are in somber silence

With no one else but us to blame

Hard to be honest when others pretend

Hard to begin when we already know the end

It's the end of the affair

And it seems we no longer care
