And then it was over and we took our applause We passed the peace pipe and thought no more About the scenes that were missing, about the lines we had crossed And we smiled at each other and knew that the moment was lost I let you snuff out the candles, I let you blow out the flame And I knew that this time it would never be the same The smiles you had wavered, tears welled in your eyes And I looked and I knew that this magic it was only a sign For Sunsets on Empire it was only a dream I knew that it was broken when I heard you scream I know you cant believe it. It meant nothing at all And we looked at each other and we smiled and the moment was gone Sunsets on Empire is this really the end Sunsets on Empire left with a friend Could have been a lover, could have been a wife But when it comes right down to it all I want is a life Just a life You said it never mattered. You said its just a thrill You couldnt beat it. Another bitter pill It never was a habit. A one off just for sure You never really thought it out but I hoped that one time That youd come back for more Sunsets on Empire thats where I am Sunsets on Empire thats all we have To face a new beginning when youre so close to the end And you looked at me gently and smiled Would you still be my friend? You started to smile Is this really the end? Is this really the end? Sunsets on Empire The sun sets on Empire
