Opposite sides of a room standing off in a stare
Even if I found the words
Could you comprehend them?
It’s you
I know your face
But there is a stranger in the place of the one who knows my heart best

We never guessed that it would be this hard
We always said it’s you and me against the odds
Our fear gaining an edge
Our best promises are put to the test
Am I with you?

Who is this monster with bitter words spat from her lips?
You’re not the enemy
How did I let it get to this?
It’s you
The same one I picked
Because you understood like no one else did
Forgive me as I forget

We never guessed that it would be this hard
We always said it’s you and me against the odds
Too far out on a ledge
Reach for my hand
Let’s walk it back in
I am with you

Love is a tender thing
For worse or for better
It can heal us where it hurt

We never guessed that it would be this hard
We always said it’s you and me against the odds
Our new old promises
Pulled from the wreckage
Spoken again
I am with you
