What About Us-The Way It Was Before (Reprise)

Somehow we thought this was just about us, not about you

Got so distraught we just thought about us, not about you

We should have known

But instead

We did what we said we'd never do

We forgot about you

We forgot to calm your fears

We forgot to feel your pain

We forgot to notice you were under too much stress and strain

I don't know quite how, but we forgot that you come first, no matter what

We forgot to say how much we love you, and that we always will

'Til mountains fall and fade away and all the stars turn cold and grey

I wish there was a way back to the way it was before

But families don't all grow in one straight line

And since we can't just stay back, well, it's time to close that door

Don't be scared, we'll be fine

I know now we can't go back and that things will have to change

We'll figure out, the three of us, just how

We won't get that same glow back and at first it might feel strange

But I love you, you love me

Evermore

Endlessly

Yes, that will be

The way it was before
