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