Lyrics
What Happens Now

What happens now
Now that we're broke in two
This morning we were us
Now we're just me and you
Is there something someone ought to say or do
What happens now
Who walks away
I don't know the rules
Do I smile and take your hand
Or stand here like a fool
I don't give a damn right now 'bout looking cool
Who walks away
Tonight, when you don't call to patch us up again
What happens 'til the sun comes up - what even happens then
I guess there's time enough - I'll sort that out somehow
But - what happens now
I know it's right
It's pretty clear we're wrong
We'll burn our broken pieces
And we'll move along
I guess these are the last notes of our little song
What happens now
What happens now
