What Do We Tell Em' Now?

When people would ask us how we met

What a story we had for them

You would light up,

I'll never forget

Talking fairy tales out by the ocean

I guess we jumped the gun when we called it love

Heaven on earth we told them

So happy and proud, showing me around

What do we tell em' now

That it all fell apart two broken hearts

Shattered all over the floor

And do you tell them you're fine?

I don't tell them I cry

Tell them it don't hurt anymore

Do you make it look like you moved on and act strong

Like you don't miss having me around

Now that it's come to an end and they ask I've been

What do you tell em' now

It's almost impossible to forget

While I'm on the same back road

So I'm going 95 to get you out of my mind

I'll get back to small town talk tomorrow

I hope you'll find the words that numb the hurt

Give me a call when their bulletproof

Until I get it down I'll take another shot of crown

Cause I don't know how to tell em' now

That it all fell apart two broken hearts

Shattered all over the floor

And do you tell them you're fine?

I don't tell them I cry

Tell them it don't hurt anymore

Do you make it look like you move on and act strong

Like you don't miss having me around

Now that it's come to an end and they ask how I've been

What do you tell them now

Ooh, only words that come to mind

Ooh, is that I'm missing you so much tonight

If I had to do it all again, would you try to

Keep it from falling apart

And mend these hearts, pick the pieces up from the floor

And would you tell them you're fine?

Cause you're coming back tonight

Make it work once more

And should I leave my front line on

Cause you're coming home, you missed having me around

I know it's come to an end but we can try again

What would you tell em' now

If we both give in, and just forgive

What would you tell em' now
