Conversation, getting' so hard to make I try to communicate, but I can't get through We are strangers, but I remember when You used to be my friend, and my lover too. (Chorus) And I don't really know how it happened And I don't really know what to say, I just wonder how we ever got this way? Conversation, that's what it's all about Why can't we talk it out, and say what's on our minds? Situation, keep getting in the way So much we need to say, but we're running out of time. (Chorus) And I don't really know how it happened I have tried but I don't understand How we ever let it get so out of hand (Bridge) It's just like a dream you can't remember Even though you always wish you could When it's gone, it's gone forever When it's gone, it's gone for G – o – o – o – o – D Conversation, things that we've done and said Keep running though my head, like a sad echo Desperations, gettin' the best of me Cause I can't make you see, and I can't let go... no! (Chorus) And I don't really know how it happened And I don't really know what to say But I can't bring myself to throw it all away
