Recover

Never have I seen two people together 

Go to such efforts to stay apart

A fool to believe over time it would get better 

Now it all just seems a farse

We have so much at stake 

But I'm not sure how much more I can take

Day after day we're here together 

But I feel more alone than ever 

Is this how the rest of our years will be?

You and me, yet not a word we'll speak.

Somewhere along the line

We stopped finding the time 

To love one another

Now I'm afraid we can't recover.
