You or Me Lyrics by Decades

The Truth and Other People

2017

[Verse 1]
What happened to us?
We had plans
We couldn't rust
Smarter than the rest
Built bullet proof
The best
We were acting above our age
Early nights as our twenties faded
It all soon felt like a cage
I was just the first to say it
[Pre Chorus]
It ended before it started
Like ice caught in the heat
And now that we have parted
It's clear to see
[Chorus]
It wasn't you or me
The fault was ours
It wasn't you or me
That let us down
It wasn't the words or the way we said it
We weren't ready to be that committed
You and me
Were born to break
[Verse 2]
What happened to truth?
It was a pain
We shook loose
Failed like the rest
Found comfort in distress
Spent the weekends acting my age
Red eyes and a brain that was screaming
It all soon felt like a cage
I wish I knew how to leave it
[Pre Chorus]
It ended before it started
Like ice caught in the heat
And now that we have parted
It's clear to see
[Chorus]
It wasn't you or me
The fault was ours
It wasn't you or me
That let us down
It wasn't the words or the way we said it
We weren't ready to be that committed
You and me
Were born to break
[Bridge]
Born to break
The fault was ours
The fault was ours
[Pre Chorus]
It ended before it started
Like ice caught in the heat
And now that we have parted
It's clear to see
[Chorus]
It wasn't you or me
The fault was ours
It wasn't you or me
That let us down
It wasn't the words or the way we said it
We weren't ready to be that committed
You and me
Were born to break
