Tindersticks We Were Once Lovers song lyrics

we shared a life, we shared a heart

but what we united seems to be breaking apart

it's a haunting pain, goes right to the core

now we're dividing what's mine from what's yours

i'll keep the same old things i had when we met

and you'll keep what's yours ‘cause that would only be fair

but what about the heart that we both created together?

we used to be the toast of the town

we used to have the best love of all

we had blue skies but they came falling down

what happened to us

you and i once were lovers

no cheating hearts and no one did wrong

so why did we break, can't say our love wasn't strong

but i know with time things that start to mend

so let's fix these hearts so they can't be broken again

you need a man who sees how lonely you've been

don't worry, i will start all over and then

we will get back the heart that we both created together

last night i cried but girl you were not here

so it was just a big waste of tears

but then i smiled, i heard your voice in my ear

tellin' me you wish it could be like it was in the beginning
