Tift Merritt Drifted Apart lyrics

You are child when love is born,
Can't stay a child for long.
Maybe the good times are up ahead,
Maybe those times are gone.
Same things keeping us together are the very ones making it hard.
Better take a look around,
Baby, we're drifting apart.

Day by day, slowly you change,
Growing into what you are.
Nobody sees it happening,
It's easy like opening a door.
Same things keeping us together begin to make a wreck of our hearts.
No use to shout about it.
Baby, we've drifted apart.

Drifting apart, drifting.

Drifting so slow, drifting.
I watch you go, I watch you go,
Don't pretend you don't know.

The quiet settling of the night,
It always comes to this.
You answer to yourself in the dark,
That's where everyone lives.
Same things keeping us together are the problems we had from the start.
Staying beside each other lonely feels like the hardest part.
Same things keeping us to together are the very ones that tear us apart.
Nobody's fault at all,
Baby, we're drifting apart.
