[Verse 1]
Why is it over?
Maybe I’ll tell you when you’re older
She said something ‘bout a river
And how I’m drowning in it sober, sober
Well, if I could go back again
I’d stop the river from closing in, oh baby, on you

[Chorus]
Won’t understand a word I say
But, Abigail, it’s true
I know it feels like a rainy day
For these separate ways
For these separate ways

[Verse 2]
Why is it over?
I guess she never found closure
Had seven years and you together
And I wish we’d have made this work
To save you that hurt
But the mistakes I made came in like a flood
And the rain washed away all the things I loved
But, if only I could do it right, do it right by you

[Chorus]
Won’t understand a word I say
But, Abigail, it’s true
I know it feels like a rainy day
For these separate ways
For these separate ways
For these separate ways
[Bridge]
Well, we still love you
It’s nothing you did or could ever do
Your mom and I got things to sort through
But I’ll be seeing you, I’ll be seeing you

[Chorus]
Well, you won’t understand a word I say
But, Abigail, it’s true
I know it feels like a rainy day
For these separate ways

[Chorus]
You, you won’t understand
You won’t understand a word and it’s true
I know it feels like a rainy day
For these separate ways
For these separate ways
For these separate ways
