I know it's over
It was over from the start
But hope set us on fire
And we fell like lovers do
I'm moving forward
But it's hard not glancing back
Thinking what could happen
If I had a second chance
Would we get it right
Find a way to look past the obvious and see the good
I tell myself at night there's no way it could be fixed
But I can't help but wonder, am I wrong
Oh yeah, what a shame
We threw it all away
The best of us was ruined by the bad
Oh yeah, what a shame
We never could have known
That you and I would be better on our own
This is the last time
My heart sings of you
Or so I am convinced
Until I hear the blues
Would we get it right
If just for once we learned to put aside all the bitterness and fight
For every scent of sweet and fading light
I can't help but wonder, am I wrong
Oh yeah, what a shame
We threw it all away
The best of us was ruined by the bad
Oh yeah, what a shame
We never could have known
That you and I would be better on our own
