How did it get this way, a dull and sullen day

You & me, we lived as one

We believed that we could touch the sun

It seemed so simple then; time seemed to have no end.

Our playground was the sky and we lived.

Never asking why (never asking why)

Now I say to you, I will do what I must do

The change I propose to you

May hurt me, but it's something I must do -

Verse 2

And now it's come to this

What happened to our bliss?

Today I stand as 1 and watch the setting of the sun

My life before me lies; I close my ears to your cries

I only hope that, in the end, we might still be friends

(We might still be friends)

Here you stand - now my dear

The wounds are - oh so clear

Where do we stand - let's make it clear

Have we really reached the end of love?

Verse 3

Now we stand face to face

The time has come to embrace

The future waits for us to take

Let’s not the years go to waste

I carry with me now the memories to help me win

The ways not clear, I keep them with me now

I've shown you how.

Now you must start on your way

The path leads to a brighter day
