-- Original, human-written lyrics -- [Verse 1 ] Into the fray we each were sent, one year apart, both our hearts rent, she left me first, then he left you, not sure what we were 'sposed to do, unlike others, we did not hate, a life unique we will create, our kids are our priority, strength in lieu of this misery. [Chorus] Yet life has a peculiar way, 'nother soul to relate, we pray, heavy is our heart in such pain, when loneliness mingles with shame, life continues with its demands, we want someone who understands. [Verse 2] Transitions mid-life bring us down, homes once filled, are now a ghost town, those we swore to love endlessly chose to walk away selfishly, but hope is never truly lost, when upon a like soul is crossed, someone who knows what it is like and can with us this journey hike. [Bridge] This wasn't the life we had dreamed sorrowful tears down faces streamed, our hopes were dashed, out of control, they closed the door, forever more, when one door closes we are freed, opening a new one as we need. [Final Chorus] Yet life has a peculiar way, 'nother soul to relate, we pray, heavy is our heart in such pain, when loneliness mingles with shame, life continues with its demands, we want someone who understands, we find someone who understands, you are the one who understands... ... you are the one who understands.
