Lyrics
I've asked myself a thousand times before
Who's to blame I just don't know anymore
We made the choice to go our own separate ways
But now that you're gone I know I've seen better days
Why couldn't we have just worked it out in some old simple way
But you said "You go your way and I'll go mine"
You go your way and I'll go mine.
I stare at the pictures up upon the wall
Remembering the days when it looked like we had it all
But now the time has come and we both need more
Than just a kiss and a hug and flowers at the door
Why couldn't we have just worked it out in some old simple way
But you said "You go your way and I'll go mine."
You go your way and I'll go mine
Instrumental break
I look back on how we could have made things right
But I'd rather sleep alone than put up a fight
And I can't help but think of what could have been
To let it slip away seems like such a sin
Why couldn't we have just worked it out in some old simple way
But you said "You go your way and I'll go mine"
You go your way and I'll go mine
You go your way and I'll go mine
