Separate ways
Were we ever really happy?
Was there always this much pain?
When did it start to fall apart?
And do you give me all the blame?
Can you see your part in this?
Or were you lead astray?
By my sickness that consumed you,
More and more each day.
We tried to hold it all together
For everybody’s sake
But that made worse it seems
It was more than we could take
You say you want it to go back
To the way it was before.
But I don’t think it works that way,
We’re not happy anymore.
There is too much that has changed,
We’ve gone our separate ways.
It’s time to stop and take a break,
And take it day by day.
Maybe someday we’ll meet up,
And fall in love again.
For now we’ll go our separate ways,
And leave it just as friends.

It would be quite easy to draw an analogies to several songs but I wouldn't want to trivialize the specifics in this narrative. This has universal appeal.

Hard to say goodbye, in any cases yet, even harder to stay together...once the love is gone it just feels like
being 'dead' n walking around a shell... Definitely can relate
