So I've cleared out of your bedroom and my bags are in the hall
In a little while a taxi's going to take me from it all
I don't believe you recognise how hard it's going to be
When the door between us closes and finally we're free
No, no, it wasn't how we planned
Broken dreams and shattered schemes we didn't understand
No, no, no, we couldn't compromise
And heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows we tried
Well I took us to the gardens and I took us to the shore
I swear and for the life of me we couldn't have done more
We talked about the future and we talked about the past
The conclusion that we came to was our love it wouldn't last
No, no, it wasn't how we planned
Broken dreams and shattered schemes we didn't understand
No, no, no, we couldn't compromise
And heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows we tried
I'll never ask for sympathy I'll never look form proof
In the corner of the lyrics for some tiny hidden truth
I only wish you well as you set out along the track
That winds around our destiny while never looking back
No, no, it wasn't how we planned
Broken dreams and shattered schemes we didn't understand
No, no, no, we couldn't compromise
And heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows we tried
