Both of us speak

But neither of us hear

Couldn’t be further apart

While standing so near

 

When did things change

Where did we go wrong?

When did we go from bliss

To something so far gone?

 

So much space between us

Can we bridge this gap?

Will we find our way back

Or are we lost without a map?

 

Is our compass broken

Will our viewpoints ever meet?

Can we agree to disagree

Or should we claim defeat?

 

Both with stubborn pride

Two egos on the line

Neither of us right or wrong

Can we salvage yours and mine?

 

Can we both forgive

Or is it far too late?

Can we live and let live

Or is the end our fate?
