Tenderness

We did not ask how things were defined

Some pieces were missing but the puzzle looked fine

One day we looked up from inside a song

Something felt more right

Something was wrong



Should we regret love like this?

It's not a shame

It's tenderness

But we made a mess

And that is how we'll be remembered here

That is how we'll be remembered here



And months go by

You with your wife

It takes time to disassemble a whole life

And I can't ask you for anything

I take what I get

Oh, and other people say it's more than I deserve

Well, maybe it's true

I don't deserve you



But should I regret love like this?

It's not a shame

It's tenderness

But we made a mess

And that is how we'll be remembered here

That is how we'll be remembered here



It's the end of an era

So unexpected

Clear as the lines on the palm of your hand

You and I we started stumbling

Into the next dance

We didn't plan this death of our friends' innocence



We can't regret love like this

It's not a shame

It's tenderness

But we made a mess

And that is how we'll be remembered here

Yeah, that is how we'll be remembered here

That is how we'll be remembered here
