From across the room, I can feel this tension between us. |
|
It's always there, just outta sight. |
|
An' we both know, that love don't live here anymore. |
|
You don't have to say it, I can read between the lines. |
|
Who's gonna leave an' who's gonna stay, |
|
An' how long can this house an' two cars, |
|
An' one little girl stand in our way. |
|
How long can we keep holdin' on, |
|
To somethin' that's already gone? |
|
Girl, life's too short to love like this: |
|
Too tired to try an' too scared to quit. |
|
We took to heart the vows we made, |
|
But somehow lost the will: |
|
Yeah, we said: "I do," |
|
But do we still? |
|
Hangin' on the wall is an eight by ten reminder: |
|
You in your gown, me in my rented tux. |
|
We had it all when all we had was each other, |
|
But now it's gone: that ol' picture gathers dust. |
|
How long can we keep holdin' on, |
|
To somethin' that's already gone? |
|
Girl, life's too short to love like this: |
|
Too tired to try an' too scared to quit. |
|
We took to heart the vows we made, |
|
But somehow lost the will: |
|
Oh, we said: "I do," |
|
But do we still? |
|
How long can we keep holdin' on, |
|
To somethin' that's already gone? |
|
Girl, life's too short to love like this: |
|
Too tired to try an' too scared to quit. |
|
We took to heart the vows we made, |
|
But somehow lost the will; |
|
Oh, somehow lost all the will: |
|
Oh, we said: "I do," |
|
But do we still? |
|
(Do we still?) |
|
(Do we still?) |
