Before We Got To Here

I thought
We could get by this one thing
We just had a reckoning
Can’t avoid its sting

I thought
We’d find a way to pull the string
And you’d see all that I bring

It may be my fault
I should have seen
You’d never let it go
Heard you exalt
What it means
I really should have known

And so this is it my dear
Even I must admit that’s clear
It is just what it appears
It all seems to fit my fears
It took some time ‘til it hit my ears
Don’t you wish this was sheared
Before it got to here

I conceded, I think we should
Agree we’re done for good
I tried to change where you stood
And I really thought you could
And would

You know
We should have seen this from the start
Whenever something gets this far
It’s not just about the heart

You know
Our horse is standing behind the cart
We may not be that smart

I’m going to miss
So much of you
Now that we’ve gotten wise
You know that this
Was so true
It’s just not the prize
