We had our reasons Gone like the seasons Hollow excuses Followed phony abuses We lodged our defences And lost our senses Now here we are It feels so bizarre Before then You loved me You loved me You loved me What did I do That couldn't be forgiven? I bought your vision Stubborn indecision Lonely refugees Tryin' too hard to please If this be destiny We've been lost at sea I still feel you near But you're gone I fear Before then You loved me You loved me You loved me What did I do That couldn't be forgiven? They'd never seen two so in love We were everyone's ideal But when the chips were down The devil reneged on the deal And in that crowded hour When I turned to find my friend You were nowhere to be seen And our song was at an end Before then You loved me You loved me You loved me What did I do That couldn't be forgiven?
