Likewise

[Verse 1] You've changed You're thinner Is this strange? It's just dinner You're on guard I know I have myself to blame Is this hard? Paused to ponder as the waitress came Still I see you and I feel the same [Chorus] "Likewise," you replied I was trying to make you understand I was glad you arrived Still I fumbled through my sweat-stained hands and said It's so nice to see you I can't believe It's been so long "Likewise," you replied [Verse 2] I heard you got kids Heard you had a husband once He hit the skids? Don't imagine that was fun Your eyes roll You tell me "that's not how it went" How would I know? "Couldn't even pay the rent" Still I think of you as innocent [Chorus] "Likewise," you replied I'm the product of the life you chose I'm not mad, just surprised We sipped our coffee as the tension rose And as my open mouth betrayed me Searching for a reason why "Likewise," you replied [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Now I'm whole Though I know I wasn't then Time took it's toll Finally on my feet again I'm older and I was thinking we'd be friends [Chorus] "Likewise," you replied I've been searching for a different way We could frame both our lives As you smile, I spoke this truth so plain: You know the one thing I can't shake is I never got to say goodbye "Likewise," you replied "Likewise," you replied" "Likewise," you replied
