Did We Really Ever Try

Did we really ever try to understand each other
Or was it just a game that sometimes people play?
Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder
Was it just a game that sometimes people play?

I wonder if we ever listened
To a word that the other had to say
All that we shared, our inner treasures
Are used against each other as we fall

I wonder if before we started
We could have known that the road would end this way
What makes us give our hearts so freely
Only to find that we are strangers after all

We fool ourselves into believing
Our differences will surely change in time
And we proceed, blissfully blinded
Throwing caution to the wind along the way
