He waits for her to turn around
But she just walks out the door
She dreams of him to hold her tight
But he won't hold her anymore
He wants to hear her say, "It’s okay"
But she just cries in the rain
She prays for him to say, "I’m here"
But he drops his eyes in pain
How did we fall so far
We used to stand together
How did we fall so far
I thought we’d last forever
She waits for him to change his mind,
like, Maybe time will make it right
But time just steals what’s left behind
And leaves them stranded in the night.
He waits to hear her say, "Come home"
But the silence cuts too deep.
She waits for him to say, "Don’t go"
But the words are hard to speak
How did we fall so far
We used to stand together
How did we fall so far
I thought we’d last forever
Maybe we were just too late
Maybe pride just sealed our fate
Now the silence cuts so deep
And the memories won’t let us sleep
Now the night just feels too long
And the memories play like a song—
One we used to know by heart,
Now it’s just tearing us apart
How did we fall so far
We used to stand together
How did we fall so far
I thought we’d last forever
