I never took the time to understand you
I assumed a lot and let it all just slide through
And here I stand now
Holding on a lifeline
Wishing you would come back
Living out this lonely life...
You and I were dreamers
Hanging on perfection
Standing by our principles that led
us in the wrong direction
Now we're far apart
Praying for an answer
Tell me what can I do
Tell me how to break through
How Do I break through?
You and I belong together
How Do I break through?
You and I should be together
How Do I get to you?
Don't shut me out forever!
Everything about you
made my life so much better
You can't deny everything I've done for you
Put you on a pedestal, so high I couldn't see you
Standing in the rain
Was I the one to blame
So hard to figure out this broken heart's game
You and I were dreamers
Hanging on perfection
Standing by our principles that led
us in the wrong direction
Now we're far apart
Praying for an answer
Tell me what can I do
Tell me how to break through
How Do I break through?
You and I belong together
How Do I break through?
You and I should be together
How Do I get to you?
Don't shut me out forever!
Everything about you
made my life so much better
break
Standing in the rain!
Was I the one to blame?
So hard to figure out this broken heart's game
How Do I break through?
You and I belong together
How Do I break through?
You and I should be together
How Do I get to you?
Don't shut me out forever!
Everything about you
made my life so much better
