-- Original, human-written lyrics -- [Verse 1] Falling in love is the easy part, life moves fast and you're tying the knot. Hearts opening wide, feelings falling outside, softly like snow, faces aglow. [Verse 2] Passing of years brings a family, easy to lose that intimacy. Not enough time, losing our mind, rushing from here, to far and near. [Verse 3] Marriage requires both give and take, broken vows put everything at stake. She walked away, 'nother team to play, he gave you up, all so abrupt. [Verse 4] Til death do us part, too much to ask, not many are up to such a task. Good stories make, for goodness sake, marriage is tough, we've had enough. [Chorus] So here we walk through purgatory, praying this time is transitory. Former partners now just co-parents, goin' through motions for the appearance, we're still married, but also unwed, hanging onto hope by a thin thread, we're still married, but also unwed. [Verse 5] If it was just our own happiness, we would split from all this nastiness. But for our kids, can't call it quits, stops us just short of bring'n to court. [Verse 6] Where does that leave us in the meantime? Struggling within this new paradigm. Ready to move on, but still withdrawn, hearts are still sore, emotions roar. [Chorus] So here we walk through purgatory, praying this time is transitory. Former partners now just co-parents, goin' through motions for the appearance, we're still married, but also unwed, hanging onto hope by a thin thread, we're still married, but also unwed. [Bridge] Still married, yet also unwed, a paradox to mess with the head. Still married, but also unwed, such a strangeness a life we can't shed. [Final Chorus/Outro] So here we walk through purgatory, praying this time is transitory. Former partners now just co-parents, goin' through motions for the appearance, we're still married, but also unwed, hanging onto hope by a thin thread, we're still married, but also unwed. also unwed.
