Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music

How did we © 2009Stephanie Ankner

I hate to say this but,
Girl it’s been a long time coming.
We need to sit down and talk,
About what’s been happening,
Cuz my hearts stuck in a gridlock,

And I hate feeling this way,
Cuz I really do love you.
But our love is going nowhere lately,
And I don’t know what we should do.

Do we call it quits?
Girl,
Are we worth even fighting for?
It wasn’t always this bad between us ,
But at some point, we took a turn for the worse.
So tell me …. (OR So answer me….)

CHORUS
How did we get here?
Did we (just) out grow each other?
Was our love not meant to be?
Is this faith saying, we shouldn’t be together?

How did we get here?
Girl,
How did we let it get this far?
We control our own destiny,
So what happened to our’s
So How did we get here?
How did we let it get this far?

VERSES
We used to talk four hours,
Sometimes the whole night through.
Now we barely say two words to each other
Before we end up arguing.
And
This ain’t how I want our life,
I can’t go on living it this way.
But we’ve got no one else to blame but ourselves,
Because WE let our love slip away..

So Let’s not point the finger with blame,
and be honest right here and right now.
We need a simple conclusion together,
And find some kind of common ground.

CHORUS
How did we get here?
Did we (just) out grow each other?
Was our love not meant to be?
Is this faith saying, we shouldn’t be together?

How did we get here?
Girl,
How did we let it get this far?
We control our own destiny,
So what happened to our’s
So How did we get here?
How did we let it get this far?

Kicker
Does our love deserve a second chance,
or should we ,..just walk away.
What do we do now girl, that were in this place.
So neither one of us gets hurt again

Let you go © Stephanie Ankner 2009, BMI

I don’t want to argue anymore,
(Boo/or/girl) let’s just stop it right here.
You said some thangs out of anger,
But I knew you weren’t being sincere.

I know how you really feel, and
Walking away is not the answer.
(Boo/or/girl)We been together for so long
I know we can get passed this…

Were gonna get stronger, (optional->I promise you)
We can’t let this break us down.
Gotta work out these issues together
So Please girl… turn back around

Chorus
I’ll be dammed if I let you go
…. love you to much girl,
…. I’ll loose self control
I’ll be dammed if I let you go
(Cuz) every morning of my life
"I' need you by my side"
I'll be damned if I let you go...……

So don’t you walk away from me.
Don’t give up that easy, cuz
I’ll be dammed if I let you go

Vs
Everybody goes through some things,
Girl were not the only one.
Were gonna have some hard times in our life,
But that don’t mean we gotta move on.

So let’s just forget about it,
Close out that chapter and start a new.
Right here, right now, there’s no better time,
Let’s do what we gotta do……

Chorus
I’ll be dammed if I let you go
…. love you to much girl,
…. I’ll loose self control
I’ll be dammed if I let you go
(Cuz) every morning of my life
"I' need you by my side"
I'll be damned if I let you go...……


Chorus
I’ll be dammed if I let you go
…. love you to much girl,
…. I’ll loose self control
I’ll be dammed if I let you go
(Cuz) every morning of my life
"I' need you by my side"
I'll be damned if I let you go...……

Kicker
So don’t you walk away from me.
Don’t give up that easy
I’ll be dammed if I let you go

I remember © Stephanie Ankner 2007 & 2009

Vs 1
I remember girl………
I can remember all the good times.
Ya say you don’t remember many happy days
But ya can’t deny there weren’t some…..

We didn’t always fight,
Girl at one time we used to get along
It didn’t start turning bad for us,
Until we made each other feel like we didn’t belong….. (We didn’t belong)

I hated it that way, what the hell was wrong with the two of us
Why would we let something so good, turn into something so bad

Chrous
I remember….. I still can remember
When we use to stay up laughing,
I remember….. I still can remember
Cuddling the night away …. Girl just relaxing
I remember….. I still can remember
Watching movies and
making love everywhere we could.
I remember….. I still can remember
Holding you close in my arms,
Girl , that’s when everything was so good…

I remember….. I still can remember

Vs 3
I don’t want to put all the blame on you,
I for sure accept my part….( Oh I accept my part.)
I wasn’t as good as I could be girl.
Didn’t always look after your heart


I regret everything about that
Some of that still lives wit me.
I could have been better to you too girl
But at least I still tried to keep us happy

Just seems like you fell off from us
Didn’t want to be around anymore
I seen a change in the way you where
You was doing things, you would of never before

Chrous
I remember….. I still can remember
When we use to stay up laughing,
I remember….. I still can remember
Cuddling the night away …. Girl just relaxing
I remember….. I still can remember
Watching movies and
making love everywhere we could.
I remember….. I still can remember
Holding you close in my arms,
Girl , that’s when everything was so good…

I remember….. I still can remember

Kicker
I wish things could have been different
Maybe go back the way they where
But times has changed and so have we
And maybe it is for the better…..
