New Cars and Cameras

New Cars and cameras 
New places to go
Another man to comfort you 
When you’re feeling low

Remember all the times we spent 
Sharing everything as one
Watching sunsets on the beach 
Kissing n the fading sun 

I thought we were rock solid 
I thought that we would never part
I trusted you with everything 
My dreams, my hopes, my heart. 

New cars and cameras
New horizons to explore
Another man to hold your hand 
But this man loves you more 

I feel broken and alone 
My life’s come off the tracks
I can’t restore the love we had
I can’t fill in the cracks 

Our bodies once they merged as one 
Our souls were intertwined 
I thought we’d found the perfect love 
But you left me behind 

New cars and cameras 
New stories to trade 
A love left on the back burner
Cos it didn’t make the grade 

Don’t  want to join the broken 
The beaten and the lost, 
Don’t want to be a memory, 
Don’t want to count the cost. 

I opened up my heart to you
Now I can’t take this pain                                     Love that blossomed in the sun
Now washed up in the rain 

I gave you all I had to give 
But thats not enough it seems
You traded love for money 
You shattered all my dreams 

New cars , new cameras 
Did I come up that short ? 
Can  love that seemed so precious 
IBe so easily bought ? 

The colours have all seeped now
Rainbows fade to grey 
If we can’t be together 
I can’t face each passing day 

New Cars and Cameras 
I will never understand 
How “bling” would be your thing 
And undo all  we had planned

I cannot say goodbye 
To my soulmate, my best friend 
I can’t put out the fire we lit 
So I’ll love you to the end.
