Drifted Apart by Tift Merritt 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
