Atlanta Rhythm Section Conversation lyrics

Conversation, getting' so hard to make
I try to communicate, but I can't get through
We are strangers, but I remember when
You used to be my friend, and my lover too.

(Chorus)
And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say,
I just wonder how we ever got this way?

Conversation, that's what it's all about
Why can't we talk it out, and say what's on our minds?
Situation, keep getting in the way
So much we need to say, but we're running out of time.

(Chorus)
And I don't really know how it happened
I have tried but I don't understand
How we ever let it get so out of hand


(Bridge)
It's just like a dream you can't remember
Even though you always wish you could
When it's gone, it's gone forever
When it's gone, it's gone for G – o – o – o – o – D

Conversation, things that we've done and said
Keep running though my head, like a sad echo
Desperations, gettin' the best of me
Cause I can't make you see, and I can't let go…no!

(Chorus)
And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
But I can't bring myself to throw it all away
