There Were Times

Then there were times
When we saw not eye to eye
We'd hide our heads in the sand
And pretend we weren't in love
With our tails in the air
You'd think that we didn't care

Then there were nights
When we fought like cat and dog
We used to grill our hearts to cinders
We were callous you and I
With out tails in the air
Once upon a time there were times

From hearts poisoned by anger
Words were thrown
Taking us further from a place where forever was owned
You can't allow pride to sit at the thrown especially when
You have a vision of building a home
Remembered only memories of the hurting and pain
Scratching my brain trying to find the words to explain
We're ordinary people expecting the world from each other
Standing in fragments of the promises we made to each other
Could it be that we listened to the rats and snakes
Who use their good intentions to mask their hate
So we built our realities on false reports
I understand why many file for divorce in court
But through the tempest
We never chose to be free
Broken mirrors revealing what we could grow to be
Without you life is a beautiful sunset to a blind man
That's all I have so I just left it all in time's hands
And time stands as the healer of wounds
Embers of our early love kill the chill in the room
It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground
It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground
And there were times

Then there were times
When we felt like making love
But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides
With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats there were times

Yes there were nights
When we felt like making love
But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides
With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats
There were times
There were times
There were times
