Andrew Osenga - Tower of Babel lyrics

They said that it would happen, we weren't listening You were hanging on my words, I felt you touching me That was all that mattered Then I got a new job, we got a new house If I had to work late, I tried to take you out It didn't make it better Suddenly it hit me when we said "I need you" It didn't sound right, we were hurt and confused Fragile as the breath of a candle Staring in silence at the tower of Babel Where do we go from here? Why do lovers grow apart? Why do lovers grow apart when they wont so badly to be one heart? You said you didn't want to keep me from All the good things I was always dreaming at Were you just getting tired of me around? It finally brought me to my knees Another ultimatum to a deity Save this love or I won't believe (Do you hear me?) Suddenly it hit me: there was nothing left for us Every bitter word, another breach at trust Old wounds attacking like a jackal Running from the hills at the tower of Babel Where do we go from here? Why do lovers grow apart? Why do lovers grow apart when they wont so badly to be one heart?
