She gets the house and garden

He takes the boat and the car

Both their hearts have hardened

To the way things are

They're not quite sure what happened

Didn't see it slip away

There wasn't any big problem

They just forgot to pay attention.



It happens all too often

Loves dies in vain

We drive the nails in the coffin

And just bury the blame

So many excuses

We'll say it's hard to explain

When the simple truth is

We just didn't pay attention.



It's harder than it seems

So many things get in the way

But when you think of what you stand to lose

It not such a high price to pay

Attention

Just pay attention...
