Where Do We Go From Here?

We don't mesh Since we've been one flesh We're never on good terms for long As a matter of fact One misheard word or act Makes us conclude everything's wrong And we don't click Like the stones and sticks That we've gathered from far and near They've all been used Now that we're battered and bruised Where do we go from here...? Why do we settle down To settle for less or save face By not waiting for true happiness? Why do we put on a show And act funny with each other, Yet neither of us is laughing yet? And why do we get confident Seeing our strength and beauty, Finally, from the words of a stranger? And why do we stay together While pushing ourselves apart? Without mutual love we're in danger. (Excerpts from the song Where Do We Go From Here?)
