Just the two of us in this room

We’ve got no way out

I don’t know who we are

The skies are falling down on us

I can’t do this anymore

I’m such a fool

To think you would understand

And now all I can tell you

Is that I loved the best I could

But we didn’t feed this feeling and now who’s to blame

But me and you
