Nursery Rhyme

Where did it start
Or should I say when did it end
And I wonder how long we were gonna pretend
Now we're apart
And we've got wounds we must mend
We both lost a partner
We both lost a friend
But to go on and on
Hand in hand down the path
Of a future that's paved in the past
That was another place
Place and time
And we both realize we're to young for the lies
That we told each other year after year
Which read like a nursery rhyme
I know we'll get by
We'll do what we must to survive
I'll find a small town girl
You'll find that artist inside
It's nobody's fault
We just look at the world through different eyes
You need your independence
I need someone in my life
But to go on and on
Hand in hand down the path
Of a future that's paved in the past
That was another place
Place and time
And we both realize we're to old for the lies
That we told each other year after year
Which read like a nursery rhyme
Although I know I'll never stop loving you
I also know it's time to go
And there'll be nights when I'm missing you
And there'll be nights I'll hurt inside
Way down deep I'll want to cry
But I'll stop myself before I begin
Cause I know now I must be strong
Can't get lost in what went wrong
Got to turn my collar to the wind
