Lyrics
Well, it's a cold, rainy December, And I wished for a better time. Do you remember When we used to dance around the kitchen At three in the morning? I would sing into your ear, And you would want to hear All the love I had to give. You welcomed it with open arms. What happened? We're so far apart. How did we end up here? How did we end up here? Was it me or you? Did life just get too hard? Did we grow apart from our hearts, Or did we just not love each other at all? Was it me or you? Was it life? Did we grow apart from our hearts, Or did we just not love each other at all? What happened? We're so far apart. How did we end up here? How did we end up here? How did we end up here? What happened? We're so far apart. How did we end up here? How did we end up here? How did we end up here?
