The Best We Have

Seperate lives
Connections all untied
I watch you walk away
Pages turn
a dozen bridges burn
Stranded hope remains

You're all but gone
Building up this wall between our hearts
What's to be done
to reclaim the best we have
the song we sang together
Reclaim the best we have in love

Used to be
you would talk to me
eye to eye for hours
I liked it when
you thought of me as friend
A safe place in the world

When did I change
to someone you might need protection from?
I'm still the same
guy you knew back then
when we were brave enough
to claim the best we have in love

Eggshells break
I can't walk that light
Is all this anger mine?
I could take
a rageing arguement
then silence cold as ice

What can I do
to grow back into being loved by you?
Where do we go
to reclaim the best we have
the song we sing together
Reclaim the best we have in love
