Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Whatever happened to us,
We seem to be, drifting apart.
Losing love and passion,
That we had, for so long.
How can things like this,
Just happen to our lives.
You know that I have been there,
I've been there all along.
(Chorus)
Why did things go wrong,
I can't explain, and I don't know how.
Don't know how we got here,
Drifting apart, our separate ways....
(Verse 2)
But something must have gone wrong,
And we're not together at all.
Our passion was so strong,
I thought it'd never, fade away.
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
I will not give up,
I won't let this, happen to me.
No matter what's wrong.
I can't give up, up on us......
The love we once had,
Is something that I cherish.
Worth reaching out,
To get you back, back with me.
(Chorus 2x)
(Outro)
Whatever happened to us,
We seem to be, drifting apart.
Losing love and passion,
That we had, for so long.
