The Life We Built (TJA)

[lyrics] Verse 1: We’re right here on the edge again Holding on like it means something Got a lifetime in the rearview And the rest still says nothing I know the way you look away But I don’t know what you’re hiding Do we lean in, or let it go Or just keep on undeciding? Pre-Chorus: We've got more to lose than just a name It's routines, it's trust, it’s day-to-day Starting over sounds so clean 'Til you're missing what it used to mean Chorus: Do we tear it down and start again With brand-new names and ifs and whens? Relearn the way someone takes their tea And hope they fit with you and me Split the life we built in two Share holidays and hide the truth I don’t know what this love amounts to now But we’ve got to choose before we both burn out Verse 2: Will they get my jokes the way you do? Will they laugh and make me laugh too? Will I sit there wishing they were you While trying to pretend it’s something new? Will I have to love more kids than mine And pretend that everything feels fine? I don’t want to fake a second chance If there’s still a way for us to stand Bridge: Give me something I can hold A light to break this endless cold Even if it means goodbye I just need to know, not wonder why Chorus (repeat) Do we tear it down and start again With brand-new names and ifs and whens? Relearn the way someone takes their tea And hope they fit with you and me Split the life we built in two Share holidays and hide the truth I don’t know what this love amounts to now But we’ve got to choose before we both burn out
