Tenderness

We did not ask how things were defined
Some pieces were missing but the puzzle looked fine
One day we looked up from inside a song
Something felt more right
Something was wrong

Should we regret love like this?
It's not a shame
It's tenderness
But we made a mess
And that is how we'll be remembered here
That is how we'll be remembered here

And months go by
You with your wife
It takes time to disassemble a whole life
And I can't ask you for anything
I take what I get
Oh, and other people say it's more than I deserve
Well, maybe it's true
I don't deserve you

But should I regret love like this?
It's not a shame
It's tenderness
But we made a mess
And that is how we'll be remembered here
That is how we'll be remembered here

It's the end of an era
So unexpected
Clear as the lines on the palm of your hand
You and I we started stumbling
Into the next dance
We didn't plan this death of our friends' innocence

We can't regret love like this
It's not a shame
It's tenderness
But we made a mess
And that is how we'll be remembered here
Yeah, that is how we'll be remembered here
That is how we'll be remembered here
