I’ve been wondering for some time,
Why’s it always gotta be baby, you against me?
I had somewhere in my mind,
That a couple’s s’posed to be something more like a team
What happened to us?
In the back of a pickup truck looking at stars,
What happened to us?
Staying up late drinking wine sharing our hearts.
I’ve been wondering quite the same,
Cause you’re always on my back like you’re ready to attack,
You loved me enough to take my name,
And I’m doing what I can but I’m only just a man
What happened to us?
Not a penny to our name but we were crazy in love,
What happened to us?
When all I had to give you was more than enough.
We got lazy with love,
Didn’t give it enough,
Let the edges get rough,
But that doesn’t mean that we’re through,
I made a promise to you,
That I would never give up,
Like oxygen to a struggling flame, I’ll do whatever it’s gonna take.
It seems our dilemma now is this:
Every time I ask for more, you act like it’s a chore,
I’m trying not to say “that’s what it is”,
Gonna try to hold the lid but I think I might explode
What happened to us?
When life was simple and time was our friend
What happened to us?
When your attention was something I held to no end
Take off the mask that you hide behind,
Tear down the walls that you built,
Like oxygen to a struggling flame
I’ll do whatever it’s gonna take
