Nursery Rhyme

Where did it start

Or should I say when did it end

And I wonder how long we were gonna pretend

Now we're apart

And we've got wounds we must mend

We both lost a partner

We both lost a friend

But to go on and on

Hand in hand down the path

Of a future that's paved in the past

That was another place

Place and time

And we both realize we're to young for the lies

That we told each other year after year

Which read like a nursery rhyme

I know we'll get by

We'll do what we must to survive

I'll find a small town girl

You'll find that artist inside

It's nobody's fault

We just look at the world through different eyes

You need your independence

I need someone in my life

But to go on and on

Hand in hand down the path

Of a future that's paved in the past

That was another place

Place and time

And we both realize we're to old for the lies

That we told each other year after year

Which read like a nursery rhyme

Although I know I'll never stop loving you

I also know it's time to go

And there'll be nights when I'm missing you

And there'll be nights I'll hurt inside

Way down deep I'll want to cry

But I'll stop myself before I begin

Cause I know now I must be strong

Can't get lost in what went wrong

Got to turn my collar to the wind
