I had my suspicions and you had your own
A thousand dirty dishes and a broken home
Back when we started, before the apartment, hey now
I know you won't admit it but you had to know
I know it's hard to quit, hard to let it go
As hard as we've fallen, gonna hit the floor
Lay down, lay down
I know, things will get harder

I know, I've lost my manners
If so, like it or not I speak from the heart
Yeah, you see I forgot how to hold your hand
Forgot how to be your man
Hope that you understand me when I say
I needed to be alone
Needed some time to grow

This will be better for us both
I know the feeling and it hasn't caught you by surprise
I've heard it from your friends a million times
Mothers to daughters, fathers to sons
Lay down, lay down
Won't let it get the best of me
No, I don't need no sympathy
I've got to move now, yeah
Move out, move out

I know, things will get harder
I know, I've lost my manners
If so, like it or not I speak from the heart
Yeah, you see I forgot how to hold your hand
Forgot how to be your man
Hope that you understand me when I say
I needed to be alone
Needed some time to grow
This will be better for us both
