Lyrics

Somehow we thought this was just about us, not about you
Got so distraught we just thought about us, not about you
We should have known
But instead
We did what we said we'd never do
We forgot about you
We forgot to calm your fears
We forgot to feel your pain
We forgot to notice you were under too much stress and strain
I don't know quite how, but we forgot that you come first, no matter what
We forgot to say how much we love you, and that we always will
'Til mountains fall and fade away and all the stars turn cold and grey
[Instrumental]
I wish there was a way back to the way it was before
But families don't all grow in one straight line
And since we can't just stay back, well, it's time to close that door
Don't be scared, we'll be fine
[Instrumental]
I know now we can't go back and that things will have to change
We'll figure out, the three of us, just how
We won't get that same glow back and at first it might feel strange
But I love you, you love me
Evermore
Endlessly
Yes, that will be
The way it was before
