Story Behind The Song

inspired by a close friends' unsuspected and heartbreaking end of a long term relationship and her subsequent early "without him" experiences

Song Description

an unforseen and unsuspected break-up

Lyrics

it all seems like a dream to me
where did we go wrong, how could this be?
I can't believe after all we've been
I look through our window, and watch you leaving

it seems surreal, as if I'm not there
you take the tv, I'll take the chair
we ask our friend to mediate
so we won't say things that turn to hate

Chorus
It's all confusing, it doesn't make sense
our love has come to, a place where we see
only our differerence
once there was a time, that felt so sublime
we were in it together, like birds of a feather
now it just feels, unkind

I came back home from work today
I thanked God for the dogs, they were keeping me sane
it's been a while since I slept right through
a night without any thoughts of you

the pain ain't sweet, it cuts right in
my heart breaks when I think of you lying
how you told me you'd love me forever
then I found out you said the same thing to her

Chorus

where does my hope lie I believe that love never dies

Chorus
