She gets the house and garden He takes the boat and the car Both their hearts have hardened To the way things are They're not quite sure what happened Didn't see it slip away There wasn't any big problem They just forgot to pay attention
It happens all too often Loves dies in vain We drive the nails in the coffin And just bury the blame So many excuses We'll say it's hard to explain When the simple truth is We just didn't pay attention
It's harder than it seems So many things get in the way But when you think of what you stand to lose It not such a high price to pay Attention Just pay attention
