There was one time when they were strong
And a love like that should never go wrong
They don't talk and touch
They're not who they used to be
There's still a spark there
It's just harder to see
It's a tired story two hearts gone stale
Love keeps them a prisoner
In a picket fence jail
The taste of the passion in their kisses is gone
A too familiar tale two hearts gone stale
If he could rewind time to that very first date
And looking back she could see that look on his face
When the world was theirs and the wine was sweet
There might be a happy ending instead of misery
She don't know how much more
That she can give him
But he don't know how much more
He can take
It's a tired story two hearts gone stale
Love keeps them a prisoner
In a picket fence jail
They could live out that sentence
Or write a new ending
For a too famiiar tale
Two hearts gone stale
Two hearts gone stale
There's still a prayer
There's still a spark there
