We should have seen all of the obvious warning signs
When our affair had started behind a wall of lies.
Married so young, I was afraid to be all alone.
Life wasn’t good, but it’s the life that I’d always known.
You would forsake a friendship you’ve had for many years
To win the girl you’ve wanted through all these nights of tears.
Thought that a quick escape would prove to our benefit,
But we had never thought of all of the consequences.

There are no solutions left for you and me.
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?
It’s no use trying to be what we shouldn’t be.
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?
Can’t you see the writings on the wall?

Now that we live together, all of the magic’s gone.
We criticize each other for what is going wrong.
Bridges are burning between us and the ones we love.
What will it take for us to say that we’ve had enough?
You give the silent treatment. I start to call you names.
Neither of us believe that we have ourselves to blame.
Now we continue drinking life from an empty cup.
We dragged our children in this only to screw them up.

Repeat Chorus I

Solo—M. Hanson

I’ll no longer wallow in my misery.
I have seen the writings on the wall.
These chains could never bind me. I have broken free.
I have seen the writings on the wall.
I have seen the writings on the wall.
