Whatever Happened

Why does it take so long for us to connect?
To find another spirit to love and protect
And when we finally find what we've been waiting for
We hold too close to the one's we adore
We reach with both hands and all of our might
To hold that person close and sleep through the night
And when the morning comes we find a surprise
The person we love is just in our mind

Whatever happened to believing
That love lived forever and that was enough
What about all of our dreaming
That we'd be together and never give up
Give up
Give up

You waited your whole life for a chance like this
To be sealed with love in wedded bliss
When the party is over and the guests go home
Your newlywed husband has changed his tone
There's nobody there to answer your pleas
As you dodge his fists and fall to your knees
And you pray to God to calm his rage
Sealed with love, but fueled by hate

Whatever happened to believing (whatever happened)
That love lived forever and that was enough
What about all of our dreaming
That we'd be together and never give up
Give up
Give up

The love barely lasted a day (I used to believe in love)
Is it safer to never play (I don't want to hurt again)
I'm gonna bet
I'm gonna guess
I'm gonna say no way (I'd even do it again)

I shared all my thoughts and dreams with you
Cause I believed the love we shared was true
Then the fears crept in and ate us alive
You cut all the strings to protect all your lies

Whatever happened to believing (whatever happened)
That love lived forever and that was enough
What about all of our dreaming (whatever happened)
That we'd be together and never give up
Give up
Give up

The love barely lasted a day (I used to believe in love)
Is it safer to never play (I don't want to hurt again)
I'm gonna bet
I'm gonna guess
I'm gonna say no way
