Capo 2 Here is the life that we share We buried in the dirt with all our love and care We gave it all we had but it wasn't enough to pay For the life as we know it today Inside there's the story of us A yellowed hello and a paper coffee cup I took the bill but we both had to pay For the life as we know it today There's the lightning that struck my eyes blind Couldn't see right in front of me but I didn't quite mind Cause I had your voice and every lie you'd say About life as we know it today The cobblestone streets where we ran Eroded beneath our feet to nothing more than sand You shrugged it off, said you felt it blow away Is that life as you know it today? When you wavered I knew it was over Whatever we'd built crumbled into dirt Breaking that ground was the hardest part So I left my skin in the backyard Here lies the life that we'd shared Buried in the dirt with all our love and care It didn't go to waste but I gave mine all away For the life as we knew it yesterday
