Lyrics
And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
– Futhi kwasinyathela, ngendlela esinyathela ngayo
And the moment disappeared
– Futhi umzuzu wanyamalala
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
– Ehlane lethu, zonke izinyembezi zethu zaphenduka uthuli
Now the roses don’t grow here
– Manje ama rose awakhuli lapha
I guess that love does what it wants
– Ngicabanga ukuthi uthando lwenza lokho olukufunayo
And that’s just too bad for us
– Futhi lokho kubi kakhulu kithi
Was it all just sleight of hand?
– Ingabe konke kwakumane kuwukuhlakanipha kwezandla?
Another trick that fate has played on us again
– Elinye iqhinga i fate eye yasidlala kulo futhi
Two heads in the sand
– Amakhanda amabili esihlabathini
I hear you talking but I just can’t understand
– Ngiyakuzwa ukhuluma kodwa angikwazi ukuqonda
Caught in no man’s land between the wires
– Ukubanjwa ezweni elingenamuntu phakathi kwezintambo
Comin’ under friendly fire
– Ukuza ngaphansi komlilo wobungane
Can’t go forward, can’t go back again
– Angikwazi ukuqhubeka, angikwazi ukubuyela emuva futhi
And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
– Futhi kwasinyathela, ngendlela esinyathela ngayo
And the moment disappeared
– Futhi umzuzu wanyamalala
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
– Ehlane lethu, zonke izinyembezi zethu zaphenduka uthuli
Now the roses don’t grow here
– Manje ama rose awakhuli lapha
I guess that love does what it wants
– Ngicabanga ukuthi uthando lwenza lokho olukufunayo
And that’s just too bad for us
– Futhi lokho kubi kakhulu kithi
Flying high with both eyes closed
– Ukundiza phezulu amehlo womabili evaliwe
Almost touched the sun, I guess we got too close
– Ngicabanga ukuthi sacishe sathinta ilanga, sasondela kakhulu
Now I’m dancing on my own
– Manje sengidansa ngedwa
But the music’s not as good when you’re alone
– Kodwa umculo awumuhle kangako uma uwedwa
Caught in no man’s land between the wires
– Ukubanjwa ezweni elingenamuntu phakathi kwezintambo
Comin’ under friendly fire
– Ukuza ngaphansi komlilo wobungane
Can’t go forward, can’t go back again
– Angikwazi ukuqhubeka, angikwazi ukubuyela emuva futhi
And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
– Futhi kwasinyathela, ngendlela esinyathela ngayo
And the moment disappeared
– Futhi umzuzu wanyamalala
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
– Ehlane lethu, zonke izinyembezi zethu zaphenduka uthuli
Now the roses don’t grow here
– Manje ama rose awakhuli lapha
I guess that love does what it wants
– Ngicabanga ukuthi uthando lwenza lokho olukufunayo
And that’s just too bad for us
– Futhi lokho kubi kakhulu kithi
We wanna talk but we don’t wanna listen
– Sifuna ukukhuluma kodwa asifuni ukulalela
We play pretend but we both know it’s missin’
– Sidlala sengathi kodwa sobabili siyazi ukuthi kuyaphuthelwa
If love burns too bright, it burns out in a minute
– Uma uthando lushisa kakhulu, lushisa ngomzuzu
At least that’s what I tell myself
– Okungenani yilokho engizitshela khona
We wanna talk but we don’t wanna listen
– Sifuna ukukhuluma kodwa asifuni ukulalela
We play pretend but we both know it’s missin’
– Sidlala sengathi kodwa sobabili siyazi ukuthi kuyaphuthelwa
If love burns too bright, it burns out in a minute
– Uma uthando lushisa kakhulu, lushisa ngomzuzu
At least that’s what I tell myself
– Okungenani yilokho engizitshela khona
And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
– Futhi kwasinyathela, ngendlela esinyathela ngayo
And the moment disappeared
– Futhi umzuzu wanyamalala
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
– Ehlane lethu, zonke izinyembezi zethu zaphenduka uthuli
Now the roses don’t grow here
– Manje ama rose awakhuli lapha
I guess that love does what it wants
– Ngicabanga ukuthi uthando lwenza lokho olukufunayo
And that’s just too bad for us
– Futhi lokho kubi kakhulu kithi
