The People We Once Knew
Verse1
i cant go on like this its drivin me insane
we're goin round in circles tryin to shift the blame
we need to stop this now before it gets too late
cause pretty soon this love we had will turn to hate
Verse2
i used to love you but now i dont know what i feel
i hate the way i look for your achilles heel
i'm finding fault with all the things i used to like
and saying things to hurt you purley out of spite
Chorus
You did this, i did that
the hands of time just wont go back
you don't see me, i don't see you
we're not the people
the people we once knew
Verse3
cant we stop this fight there's nothing it achieves
i talk to you with words that you just wont believe
the silence is so loud it hurts me not to hear
the voice that soothed my mind and made things oh so clear
Verse4
i'm looking at the door, the one our love went through
and left two empty shells in a world thats coloured blue
have we come so far that we cant find our way
back along this dark path to a brighter day
Bridge
the people we once were and the people that we are
are not the same two people, we've grown so far apart
the people we once were are not the people that we are
no reason to be here but every reason to depart
Chorus
You did this, i did that
the hands of time just wont go back
you don' see me, i don't see you
we're not the people
the people we once knew
