[Verse 1 - short intro] Nobody cheated and nobody’s dying, I guess you can say we got tired of trying. We look at each other and it’s just not the same. Both looking for causes, but no one’s to blame. [Chorus] It’s a quiet kind of break, a slow kind of fall, With no bridge on fire and no wrecking ball. Not necessarily, a “happily ever after,” but hopefully---- forever happy. [Verse 2] All those memories, shared through the years, Now they just fade in a flood of teerz. Mourning the life, that we once knew, Hoping for happiness when it’s all through. [Chorus] It’s a quiet kind of break, a slow kind of fall, With no bridge on fire and no wrecking ball. Not necessarily, a “happily ever after,” but hopefully---- forever happy. [Bridge] Our children were lost, and so very sad, They couldn’t understand how I could leave their dad. How do you tell them, the fire grew cold, When “happily ever after,” is all they've been told? [Chorus] It’s a quiet kind of break, a slow kind of fall, With no bridge on fire and no wrecking ball. Not necessarily, a “happily ever after,” but hopefully---- forever happy. [Outro] Now that we’ve made it to the other side, I can honestly say I enjoyed the ride. Our paths just went in two separate ways, But we will forever share our yesterdays. (whispered) Mmmmmm..... ya just gotta be happy.
