Lyrics

You and I, we owned the truth
Our whole life, reality
We settle, we promise everything
Here on the outskirts, life suits me
And oh my love, I hope you know
I've kept that love, I've kept it close
But harmony, it has escaped me
And the world became too fast
And if I were a gambling man
I would not trust it by half
For the world became too fast
And I'll do my best to understand
The paths they became so light
Words of love and promises
Distance became every day
And best intentions, they drift away
And oh my love, I hope you know
I've kept that love, I've kept it close
But harmony, it has escaped me
And the worlds came out too fast
And if I were a gambling man
I would not trust them by half
For the worlds came out too fast
And I'll do my best to understand
We could still have them all, you know
Our quiet hours, our rest at ease
Safety in each other's arms
Each other's plans, each other's dreams
And oh my love, I hope you know
I've kept that love, I've kept that hope
But harmony, it has escaped me
And the world becomes too fast
And if I were a gambling man
I would not trust it by half
For the world became too fast
And I'll do my best to understand
