Lyrics

Life got in the way

I said we’d always
I said I’d never
I said I promise
that I would stay here
right beside you.
We’d be together the rest of our days

But life got in the way
Life got in the way

Said I’d stay loyal
I’d never lie
No matter what,
I’d keep on trying,
but the kids grew older
the walls grew higher
the wind blew stronger
and the well got dryer

Life got in the way
Life got in the way.
The river left us on this
foreign shore today,
life got in the way.

And the drama played out
with all its madness,
with all its freedom,
and all its sadness,
with all its confusion,
and all its illusions
and its all over now.

I said we’d always.
I said I’d never
I said I promise.

I know I hurt you.
I didn’t want to.
I can't explain it,
so I'll just
And life got in the way
Life just got in the way
the river left us on this foreign shore today
life got in the way.
life got in the way.
life just got in the way.
