I've been wondering for some time
Why's it always gotta be, baby, you against me?
I had it somewhere in my mind
That a couple's supposed to be
Something more like a team
What happened to us
In the back of a pickup truck looking at stars?
What happened to us
Staying up late drinking wine, sharing our hearts?
I've been wondering quite the same
'Cause you're always on my back
Like you're ready to attack
You loved me enough to take my name
Now I'm doing what I can
But I'm only just a man
What happened to us?
Not a penny to our name, but we were crazy in love
What happened to us?
When all I had to give you was more than enough
We got lazy with love, didn't give it enough
Let the edges get rough
But that doesn't mean that we're through
I made a promise to you
That I will never give up
Like oxygen to a struggling flame
I'll do whatever it's gonna take
It seems my dilemma now is this:
Every time I ask for more, you act like it's a chore
I'm trying not to say that's what it is
Gonna try to hold it in
But I think I might explode
What happened to us?
When life was simple and times were full
What happened to us
When your attention was something
That I held to no end?
We got lazy with love, didn't give it enough
Let the edges get rough
But that doesn't mean that we're through
I made a promise to you
That I will never give up
Like oxygen to a struggling flame
I'll do whatever it's gonna take
Take off the mask that you hide behind
Tear down the walls that you build
Like oxygen to a struggling flame
I'll do whatever it's gonna take
We got lazy with love, didn't give it enough
Let the edges get rough
But that doesn't mean that we're through
I made a promise to you
That I would never give up
Like oxygen to a struggling flame
I'll do whatever it's gonna take
