the end of a love affair

• pek hos bir caz standardidir bu. hele bir iliski sonunda billie holiday'den dinlendiginde pek koyucu olur. sozleri de soyledir:
  
  so i walk a little too fast and i drive a little too fast
  and i'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do at the
  end of a love affair?
  
  so i talk a little too much, and i laugh a little too much
  and my voice is too loud, when i'm out in a crowd
  so that people are apt to stare
  
  do they know, do they care, that it's only that i'm lonely
  and low as can be?
  and the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!
  
  so i smoke a little too much, and i drink a little too much
  and the tunes i request are not always the best
  but the ones where the trumpets blare!
  
  so i go at a maddening pace, and i pretend that it's taking your place
  but what else can you do, at the end of a love affair

  the end of a love affair
  a scene from a film
  just as familiar
  as the love had been
  
  i woke and couldn't sleep
  before a word was said
  the gap was ocean deep
  between us in the bed
  
  the end of a love affair
  the end of a life
  the end of a love affair
  still we both survive
  
  it didn't take so long
  really just a day
  and all the hope was gone
  it was clear i couldn't say
  
  getting up is easy
  beaten up, still easy
  cutting off is easy
  tearing down is easy
  
  the end of a love affair
  the world is born again
  if things doesn't look the same
  it's cause they constantly change
  
  i take your number off the phone
  now i'm on my own
  the good days will come
  i just need the time
