[Intro] [Verse 1] We've both been trying to make us whole (oh Lord, trying) But it's been highs and lows, never still souls (never still, never still souls) [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 (who we were) before we tied the knot (tied the knot, 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 (I see it in your eyes), there's nothing left to say (nothing more to say) '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 (it feels real) This time it feels real (oh, it's real) [Verse 4] You've seen so many bad versions of me (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 (Lord knows it's not) But this time it feels real (feels different now) This time it feels real (oh, it's real) [Verse 5] I give you a hug and pack my bag (I grab my bag) Not thinking that I'm never coming back (never coming back) [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) [Bridge] Maybe it's okay that we couldn't figure it out Some things just aren't meant to be I wish you well wherever life may lead And hope you find the things you truly need [Verse 6] Thank you for the good and thank you for the bad (thank you) Thank you for every moment we had (every moment) You'll always live in my heart Even as we now go our separate ways (our own ways) [Chorus - Final] It's not the first time this has happened to us (Lord knows it's not) But this time it's for real (feels different now) This time it's for real (oh, it's real) [Outro] (This time... it's real...) [Fade to end]
