Vienna Teng - Love Turns 40 lyrics

She's holding a secret that she'll never tell
She's holding a secret that she'll never tell
Because the myth is not supposed to retire
We'd rather it lit it'self on fire
Or overdosed in a 4-star hotel

She's holding a truth that
She'll never reveal
She's holding a truth that
She'll never reveal
Because truth this time is an ugly child
And mother and daughter may reconcile but
Their faces will never heal

"Don't go, " she says, but he's sleeping
She says it to herself: "Don't go"
She sees herself rising
Packing a suitcase with all of her shoes
But something keeps you faithful
When all else in you turns and runs
Love turns 40 the morning comes

She's holding a secret that she'll never tell
She's holding a secret that she'll never tell
Because we were once cinema gods in the night
And now all we've got is lunch-hour light
Where nothing photographs well

"Don't go, " she says, but he's sleeping
She says it to the dark: "Don't go"
She sees herself rising
Dressing in silence for nothing to lose
But something keeps you faithful
When all else in you turns and runs
Love turns 40 the morning comes
