about

A song inspired by a rough patch in a friend's life.

lyrics

There you go
Saying I’m to blame again
For all the things that’s missing in your life
I don’t know
If we are at an end
Or trying till we finally get it right

If you’re
Looking for a reason left to stay
If I ever thought you could
Reflecting what I would
Love is more than the sum of what you say
Start living like we care
Or end it this way

There are times
When we can tell ourselves
Problems just belong to someone else
It’s a lie
Confusing what we’ve built
Perfecting what we throw back on the shelf

Can’t you see that our love is slipping away

If you’re
Looking for a reason here to stay
If I ever thought you could
Reflecting that I should
Love is more than the sum of what we say
Start living like we care
Or end it this way
