"That Was Us"

Look back now
on our story. Don't wait 'til
the end comes

'Cause we see
where it's going. Unless we
rewrite some

We can both
see the ending. It won't be
a bad one,

but there's no
use pretending - that it's happy.
'Cause that's just dumb.

You with your innocent act
and me with my conscience intact -
that was us.
That was us,
missing our chance, forever.

Could we be
more mistaken? I could be
if I tried

But I'd only
be faking. And you'd see
so why lie?

We can both
see what this is. It is what
it is love

And that's what
we both wanted. Or was it?
What held us up

You with your matter-of-fact
And me with my sensitive crap -
that was us.
That was us,
missing our chance, forever

You with your holding it back
And me with my plan of attack -
That was us.
That was us,
missing our chance, forever.

There it goes
There, it's over. I love you
You love me

But that's far
as it goes, dear. Beyond that
we can't see

I will wave you
good-bye, now. And hello
tomorrow

Every day that I see you
Is no cause
for sorrow

You with your stars in a line
And me with my "perfectly fine" -
That was us.
That was us,
missing our chance, forever

Me with my holding on tight
And you with your fading from sight -
That was us.
That was us,
missing our chance, forever.

You with that light in your eyes,
and me walking smiling beside -
that was us.
That was us.
And it's going to last forever

...

Look back now on our story.
Don't wait 'til the end comes
