Robby D - How'd We Ever Get This Way

Patterns cut pieces fit
Scraps lay on the floor
We go about what we do
We don't say much any more

I check the seams and pin them straight
And sow them the best I know
But the pieces of our life
Don't fit together like before

Oh how'd we ever get to be
Oh so very far apart
How'd we ever get to be
Strangers to each other's heart
We were once the best of lovers
Now we're the worst of friends
How'd we ever get to be this way

You come in and I go out
With just a passing glance
I make the beds and dust the rooms
You water all the plants
Does either one care to dust
Our feelings from the shelves
'Cause every tear we ever cried
Is locked up deep inside ourselves

Oh how'd we ever get to be
Oh so very far apart
How'd we ever get to be
Strangers to each other's heart
We were once the best of lovers
Now we're the worst of friends
So how'd we ever get to be this way

I remember stars shining
Dreams were in the air
Who would think that it'd come to this
Where no one laughs and no one shares
And no one really cares

How'd we ever get to be
Oh so very far apart
How'd we ever get to be
Strangers to each other's heart
We were once the best of lovers
Now there's nothing left to say
Oh how'd we ever get to be this way

This way
Oh it never ever used to be this way
We were so in love
It never used to be this way
Night and day it never used to be this
How'd we ever get to be this way
How'd we ever get to be this way
