Lyrics
Things We Never Did
We argue through the night
Harsh things were sometimes said
We went to bed without making up
One thing we never did
We'd go out on our own with our own friends
Came home eyes bloodshot red
We didn't speak before falling asleep
One thing we never did
Chorus
How could we share a life so long
And not get to know each other
We had the chance to put it right
Why we never bothered
Verse
We never cared where each other was
Or got in each other's heart or head
We lived our lives without getting close
One thing we never did
Chorus
How could we share a life so long
And not get to know each other
We had the chance to put it right
Why did we never bother
How could we share a life so long
And just let it slip away
If we had the chance to put it right
Would we make the same mistakes
Bridge
Strangers at the beginning
Still strangers at the end
When did we settle for second best
And give up what might have been
Chorus
How could we share a life so long
And not get to know each other
We had the chance to put it right
Why we never bothered
How could we share a life so long
And just let it slip away
If we had the chance to put it right
Would we make the same mistakes
Verse
So now we've finally said our goodbyes
To each other we're now as good as dead
We made the break much too late
The only thing we did
