TOGETHER

 

I’m not the way I’m supposed to be

I’m supposed to be thankful for what I got

Things are not the way they’re supposed to be

She’s supposed to be here and she’s not

 

If I was younger the stakes wouldn’t seem so high

And as I grow older I fear I missed love’s call

Well, we couldn’t be together as much as we’d have liked

So we won’t be together at all

 

And I knew the place where I’d bend upon one knee

It was this one moonlit little spot

And I knew the words I’d say as I showed her the ring

The ring I never bought

And if I was older maybe I wouldn’t have hesitated

And if I was younger I’d have built myself a wall

When we couldn’t be together as much as we’d have liked

And so we wouldn’t be together at all

 

And they say what’s meant to be

Oh, is meant to be

And if it’s meant to be we’ll find our way eventually

I’m trying to believe two hearts so caring and kind

Were only beaten down by distance and time

Oh, and we tried and we tried so hard it couldn’t be our fault

We’re just somehow better off not together at all

At all

At all

 

And I’m not the way I’m supposed to be

I’m supposed to be alright on my own

And things are just the way they’re supposed to be

We’re supposed to spread our wings now I suppose

And as we grow older, who knows

We may look back fondly on ourselves and recall

When we couldn’t be together as much as we’d have liked

And so we wouldn’t be together at all
