[Intro] [Verse 1] We've both been trying to make us whole (oh Lord, trying, oh Lord, trying) But it's been highs and lows, never still souls (never still, never still soules) [Chorus] It's not the first time this has happened to us (Lord knows it's not) But this time it feels real (feels different now) This time it feels real (oh, it's real) [Verse 2] We've both been bending till we forgot (till we forgot) Who we were before we gave it a shot (gave it a shot, yeah) [Chorus] It's not the first time this has happened to us (Lord knows it's not) But this time it feels real (feels different now) This time it feels real (oh, it's real) [Verse 3] You look me in the eyes, there's nothing left to say (nothing left) 'It shouldn't be us two, not another day' (not another day) [Chorus] It's not the first time this has happened to us (Lord knows it's not) But this time it feels real (feels different now, feels different now) This time it feels real (oh, it's real) [Verse 4] You've seen so many bad versions of me (so many versions) And now you're done with all you see (done with me) [Chorus] It's not the first time this has happened to us (not the first time, no) But this time it feels real (feels real, real) This time it feels real (oh yeah) [Verse 5] I give you a hug and pack my bag (and grab my bag) Not thinking that I'm never coming back (not coming home) [Chorus] It's not the first time this has happened to us (not the first time, no) But this time it feels real (feels real) This time it feels real (oh yeah) [Bridge] Maybe it's okay that we couldn't figure it out (couldn't figure it out) Some things just aren't meant to be (meant to be) I wish you well out there (I wish you well) And hope you find what we never became (what we never became) [Verse 6] Thank you for the good and thank you for the bad (thank you) Thank you for every moment we had (we had) You'll always live in my heart (always, always) Even as we now go our separate ways (our own ways) [Chorus - Final] It's not the first time this has happened to us (happened to us) But this time it is different (this time it is different, different) Yeah, this time it feels real (feels real... feels real...) [Outro] (This time... it's real...)
