At what point did our love become the enemy
Was happiness relegated to nothing but a memory
Was it written on the wall, that eventually we would fall
Did the planets un-align, had our sun begun to cool

I used to think that I knew you so well
Now I don’t know you anymore
I used to think that I knew you so well
But you’re not the same as before

When did the sound of a baby crying break serenity
Did sleepless nights become such a sick obscenity
Tiredness it seems, has taken over me
Can’t seem to function mentally or physically

I used to think that I knew me so well
Never saw the changes take place
I used to think that I knew me so well
Now a strangers wearing my face

When did time use up the main source of my energy
Did past life lessons become my teacher
and always humble me
All the mistakes I’ve made, made me the man I am today
Can’t justify my rights or wrongs
But I’m sorry all the same

I used to think that I knew how life was
Now the rules of the game have all changed
I used to think that I knew how life was
But we’re no longer on the same page

At what point did our love become uncertainty
Was happiness a momentary feeling
going AWOL and deserting me
How did we get this miserable? Were the signs invisible?
In time all things that rise, eventually have to fall
