Conversation

Conversation, gettin' so hard to make
 I try to communicate, but i can't get through
 We are strangers, but I remember when
 You used to be my friend and my lover too
 And I don't really know how it happened
 And I don't really know what to say
 I just wonder how we ever got this way
 Conversation, that's what it's all about
 Why can't we talk it out, say what's on our minds
 Situations keep gettin' in the way
 So much we need to say, but we're running out of time
 And I don't really know how it happened
 I have tried but I don't understand
 How we ever let it get so out of hand
 Just like a dream you can't remember
 Even though you always wish you could
 When it's gone, it's gone forever
 When it's gone, it's gone for good
 Conversation, things that we've done and said
 Keep running through my head like a sad echo
 Desperation is gettin' the best of me
 Can't seem to make you see that I can't let go
 And I don't really know how it happened
 And I don't really know what to say
 But I can't bring myself to throw it all away
