There Were Times

Then there were times
 When we saw not eye to eye
 We'd hide our heads in the sand
 And pretend we weren't in love
 With our tails in the air
 You'd think that we didn't care
 Then there were nights
 When we fought like cat and dog
 We used to grill our hearts to cinders
 We were callous you and I
 With out tails in the air
 Once upon a time there were times
 From hearts poisoned by anger
 Words were thrown
 Taking us further from a place where forever was owned
 You can't allow pride to sit at the thrown especially when
 You have a vision of building a home
 Remembered only memories of the hurting and pain
 Scratching my brain trying to find the words to explain
 We're ordinary people expecting the world from each other
 Standing in fragments of the promises we made to each other
 Could it be that we listened to the rats and snakes
 Who use their good intentions to mask their hate
 So we built our realities on false reports
 I understand why many file for divorce in court
 But through the tempest
 We never chose to be free
 Broken mirrors revealing what we could grow to be
 Without you life is a beautiful sunset to a blind man
 That's all I have so I just left it all in time's hands
 And time stands as the healer of wounds
 Embers of our early love kill the chill in the room
 It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground
 It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground
 And there were times
 Then there were times
 When we felt like making love
 But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides
 With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats there were times
 Yes there were nights
 When we felt like making love
 But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides
 With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats
 There were times
 There were times
 There were times
