We sat at the table
no shouting or tears
Laid out all the logic
held up all the mirrors
We agreed on the reasons
we both understood
Why it just wasn't working
for the greater good

We talked of our futures
our paths had to part
And we both agreed it was time
to make a new start
We shook hands on the promise
to always be friends
And let a beautiful story
come to an end.

(Chorus)
Our grown-up decisions
were clear in the light,
but something's still missing
from being so right.
When you'd just look at me,
that way that you would
We had our problems,
but it felt really good

You called me last night
said you'd had a long day,
I listened to your voice
from a million miles away.
We laughed about something
that happened before,
As though we're not strangers
anymore

Our spoken truths
are a simple thing,
But they're missing the song
that our hearts truly sing.
We're so good at this now
at being just friends,
But I'm looking for the place
where the pretending ends

(Chorus)

What if the problems
were just shadows and dust?
What if the only good reason
was us?
Did we try to solve something
that needed no fix,
When the one perfect thing
was the way that we'd kiss?
What if all the right answers
just led us astray?
And the only real truth
was to just want to stay?

(Chorus)

Yeah, it felt really good
It felt really good.
I wonder if that's all
that should have been understood
