Song Description
A couple are at the precipice of a decision to end the relationship, after many years together. They have stayed together and supported one another through the death of parents and raising children, only to find that there is nothing left. The fact that the weathered the hard times only makes the situation more heartbreaking. Neither one can explain why they have ended up where they are.

Lyrics
Verse I
We have cried for hours, we have talked for days
We have thought for months, but can't wish it away
Both of us are weary, weary of the fights
One of us needs to call it, and end it all tonight, but
Chorus
Neither one of us, can bear to say goodbye
How could we weather tragedies but fail in better times?
All our plans, were torn from our hands
Who can understand? Neither one of us.
Verse II
We have shared the sorrows of losing moms and dads
We have stood at each other's side with all the strength we had
We have raised two daughters, and watched them leave the nest
We never figured, when time came, there'd be nothing left.
Chorus
Neither one of us, can bear to say goodbye
How could we weather tragedies but fail in better times?
All our plans, were torn from our hands
Who can understand? Neither one of us.
Bridge
After winning the battles, shouldn't we celebrate?
Instead we fall upon our swords, in a twist of fate. But ...
Ending Chorus
Neither one of us, can bear to say goodbye
How could we weather tragedies but fail in better times?
All our plans, were torn from our hands
Who can understand? Who can understand?
Who can understand? Neither one of us.
