(Verse One)

One time we were happy
Then a defying force
There's something that took us
Off of our footing
We didn't expect this
And fell off the tightrope

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen

(Verse Two)

Hello there my old friend
It felt so long ago
I wish we were closer
Then we were before
I guess it's not our fault
I don't know whose to blame

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen
(Verse Three)

I feel like you lied to yourself
You know the answer to that
I know times have been hard
And yes it is a shame
But the times are still here
And for a while they will stay

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen

(Verse Four)

I guess you are correct
I'm just too confused to think
My brain is full of clouds
They're blocking everything
Is the stress causing it
Or is it something worse

(Refrain)

My god how didn't
Expect this to happen
(Verse Five)

Have you forgotten me?
I've done everything
To be here right now
With everybody
That I care about
Do you care about me?

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen

(Verse Six)

Let's pay our respects to
All our other friends
I saw one taken away
I saw one get killed
I saw one commit death
I saw one walk away

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen
(Verse Seven)

I've been struggling
With mental issues
And I've been crying for help
From my friends
And you are my friends
But are we anchored down

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen

(Verse Eight)

I've looked for a psychiatrist
And yes I found one now
But my first meeting
Isn't for another week
And I've been asking out
Has our anchor broke?

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen

(Verse Nine)

When the others decided to do
Questionable choices
That's when we started to
Break away and drift
That leaves us and a couple others
That we keep in touch

(Refrain)
My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen

(Verse Ten)

I just got a letter
In the mail just now
It's from someone we know
And it says on it
"Come to Autobahn
I'm on the other side"

(Refrain)

My god how we didn't
Expect this to happen
