Conversation

Conversation, gettin' so hard to make

I try to communicate but I can't get through

We are strangers but I remember when

You used to be my friend and my lover, too

And I don't really know how it happened

And I don't really know what to say

I just wonder how we ever got this way

Conversation, that's what it's all about

Why can't we talk it out and say what's on our minds?

Situations keep getting in the way

So much we need to say but we're runnin' out of time

And I don't really know how it happened

I have tried but I don't understand

How we ever let it get so out of hand

It's just like a dream you can't remember

Even though you always wish you could

When it's gone it's gone forever

When it's gone it's gone for good

Conversation, things that we've done and said

Keep runnin' through my head like a sad echo

Desperation is gettin' the best of me

I can't make ya see, and I can't let go no

I don't really know how it happened

And I don't really know what to say

But I can't bring myself to throw it all away
