Here we stand Somewhere in between this moment and the end Will we bend? Or will we open up and take this whole thing in? Everybody else is smiling and their smiles don't fade And you don't even wonder why you just don't think that way Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, We can't move or we can't stay here Well maybe we've just had enough, Well maybe we ain't meant for this love You and me tried everything But still that mocking bird wont sing Well man this life seems hard enough Well maybe we ain't meant for this love Take my hand And I will lead you through the broken promise land Yes I can, ah yes I can I can be there when you need it, I'll give it all till you can't feel it anymore I don't wanna love you now, If you'll just leave someday I don't wanna turn around, If you'll just walk away Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, We can't move or we can't stay here Well maybe we've just had enough, Well maybe we ain't meant for this love You and me tried everything But still that mocking bird wont sing Well man this life seems hard enough Well maybe we ain't meant for this love Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, We can't move or we can't stay here Well maybe we've just had enough, Well maybe we ain't meant for this love You and me tried everything But still that mocking bird wont sing Well man this life seems hard enough Well maybe we ain't meant for this love Maybe we ain't meant for this love Maybe we ain't meant for this love
