When nothing really mattered but us
Too many lawyers, too many angry words
Back before the war
It's not as simple as who's right and who's to blame
The shattered trust, this empty house
When nothing really mattered but us
How could we fly so high to be shot down in flames
Avoiding each other's eyes still craving your tenderness
Back before the war?
The shattered trust, this empty house
Back before the war?
Stacks of paper, I guess this is where we sign
Back before we fell so out of touch
Oh back before the broken vows
Tiny footsteps, God how I miss it all
Back before we fell so out of touch
Strange how your signature so closely matches mine
I never dreamed our love would ever come to this
Do you remember when love was all that we were living for
Do you remember when I was all that you were living for
Back before the war?
My dreams were yours, your dreams were mine
So much we didn't say so much we never heard
Back before the war
Children's laughter trailing down the hall
Do you remember when you were all that I was living for
Back before we climbed too high
Back before the broken vows
My dreams were yours, your dreams were mine
Back before we climbed too high
