about

Is the glass half-full or half-empty in this relationship?

lyrics

Think of what you’ve got and what you had before
Are things quite as bad as you say?
Think of what we’ve done and what we mean to each other
Do you really want to throw it all away?

Life’s not perfect and neither am I
And no one’s saying you can’t dream
But I know you better than you think
Trust me, things are better than they seem

Think of us together and think of us apart
Do you really feel we’re better off that way?
Think about tomorrow, think about next year
Is it better if I go or if I stay?

Life’s not simple and neither am I
And no one’s saying you can’t dream
But I love you more than you know
Trust me, things are better than they seem
