Foundations

Seven years ago in a pub's dim light
I met this girl, she was shining bright
I'd just quit my job, I was lost and broke
She turned my life around like a ray of hope
But time passed by and the spark began to wane
Our fondness sputtered like a flickering flame
The only choice left with a bittersweet sigh
Was to bid farewell and to say goodbye

We were like pieces of a puzzle but the puzzle didn't fit
We were like colors of a painting that were dripping off of it
I should have seen this coming but I didn't, not a bit
I should have seen this coming but I didn't, not a bit, go

When I look at the foundation of the house we tried to build
It was never really stable and the wind blew it away
We could never make it happen even though we tried so hard
After all that we've been through it was never meant to last

Two years ago in a pub's dim light
I met another girl and it felt so right
We even bought a car, our dreams were grand
I thought she was the one when we held hands
But happiness fled like a bird in the night
Our car broke down and I was crushed by our fights
Blame was cast and my name was stained
She packed her bags and left me drained

We were like pieces of a puzzle but the puzzle didn't fit
We were like colors of a painting that were dripping off of it
I should have seen this coming but I didn't, not a bit
I should have seen this coming but I didn't, not a bit, go

When I look at the foundation of the house we tried to build
It was never really stable and the wind blew it away
We could never make it happen even though we tried so hard
After all that we've been through it was never meant to last

Pick up the shards, head held high
Fists clenched tight, ready to fight
I found a way to start again, rewrote the end
Took back what time has stole

Now I see what true love means
I found the one and she found me
We're all we need, the perfect team
I found the one and she found me

When I look at the foundation of the house that we built now
I am glad about the failures cause they've led me here somehow
This time everything comes natural, every day goes by so fast
After all that we've been through, now it's really meant to last
