Bigger Than the Both of Us

I got a letter of love in an envelope
And sealed with the kiss of a tongue
You've been so glad for the time we spent together
You just couldn't help but present me for the time I spent alone

I know that thing are only new once
I know it's been two years and several months
And I know it might be getting old
But leaving a lover is like leaving home

Now you're leaving home 'cause
This thing's biggеr than the both of us
If I was a better man, I might'vе known by now
But I've been down so long that it don't bother me
When things go wrong, I know it only means
Another song to a dear old sweetheart
Who will soon be gone when things go wrong

We were exactly the same in different ways
The undisputed masters of the makeup breakup game
When this war is over and the borders are in place
I just hope we can agree on some kind of prisoner exchange

After the old regime collapses
After the flashbacks and the relapses
It's not as if I need to settle the score
It just feels like I'm cutting my own umbilical cord

This thing's bigger than the both of us
I don't know exactly how, but we should've known by now
We've cared enough to get this far, it gets hard to believe that
Both our hearts are pinned onto our sleeves
Another song, my sweetheart only means
Again, you're gone, 'cause things went wrong

I know that things are only new once
I know what I say doesn't mean much
I'm not gonna promise you a domestic life
I just wanna give it one last try
'Cause I've been down so long that it no longer bothers me
When things go wrong, I know that it can only mean
Another song to a dear old sweetheart
Who will soon be gone 'cause things went wrong

So goes a story of love in a nutshell
Or at least as close as we'll come
And I guess a close will have to do once you resign to wait forever
Or at least until the next time
If there is a next time

This thing's bigger than the both of us
If I was a better man, I might've known by now
But I've been down so long that it don't bother me
When things go wrong, I know it can only mean
Another song to a dear old sweetheart
Who will soon be gone 'cause things went wrong
