When we tried to rework all of this

Each to her rendition

Painted ourselves in a corner

Lost for ideas blindly fishing

For a compliment or kindness

Just to bring us into view

But you could not interpret me and I could not interpret you



I remember that cold morning when the trees were black with birds

I tried to make out some connection

We were at a loss for words

After all that we've been through

I could not see giving up

Despite the picture of our coffee growing colder in the cups



I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend

And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again

I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough

And I believe in you and I believe in love



So we went rolling on down through the years

Taking time off we could steal

Until the thief of things unreconciled

Stuck it's stick into the wheel

Now we're tumbling in a freefall

No one's gonna go unscathed

But it's not because you held back and its not how I behaved



I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend

And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again

I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough

I believe in you and I believe in love



There are avenues and supplements and books stacked on the shelf

Labyrinths of recovery in search of our best self

But most of what will happen now is way out of our hands

So just let it go and see where it lands



I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend

And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again

I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough

I believe in you and I believe in love

I believe in you and I believe in love
