lyrics

In the beginning it was only you and me
We sang songs to God and dreamed of what could be
Well we both were young when we fell in love
And our path was plain to see
So we vowed our hearts for all eternity

A few years on we’d learned a little more
But then trials came a knocking at our door
And the deepest needs that we couldn’t see
Took us right down to the floor
And it would never be just like it was before

Was it me
Was it you
How can I ever hope to know the truth
Was there anything I could’ve said
Was there something I could do
Was it me who was the problem
Or was it you

It wasn’t long before you’d moved out on your own
I had to learn what it was like to live alone
In the quiet nights when I close my eyes
I can feel you in my bones
With the memories of all the love I’ve known

Was it me
Was it you
How can I ever hope to know the truth
Was there anything I could’ve said
Was there something I could do
Was it me who was the problem
Or was it you

Our story seems to stop without an end
When I lost your love I lost you as a friend
All these questions I don’t know where to begin
Is this how it feels to have to start again

Was it me
Was it you
How can I ever hope to know the truth
Was there anything I could’ve said
Was there something I could do
Was it me who was the problem
Or was it you
Was it me who was the problem
Or was it you
