We should have seen all of the obvious warning signs
When our affair had started behind a wall of lies
Married so young, I was afraid to be all alone
Life wasn’t good, but it’s the life that I’d always known
You would forsake a friendship you’ve had for many years
To win the girl you’ve wanted through all these nights of tears
Thought that a quick escape would prove to our benefit
But we had never thought of all of the consequences

There are no solutions left for you and me
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?
It’s no use trying to be what we shouldn’t be
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?

Now that we live together, all of the magic’s gone
We criticize each other for what is going wrong
Bridges are burning between us and the ones we love
What will it take for us to say that we’ve had enough?
You give the silent treatment. I start to call you names
Neither of us believe that we have ourselves to blame
Now we continue drinking life from an empty cup
We dragged our children in this only to screw them up
