Lyrics

The Middle Ground
(c) Michael Hanson Cantwell

Verse:
There's becomes a middle ground
When two people are in love
A give and take is found
And a desire to make things good
But, when there is no middle ground
And words are meant to hurt
With pain in their hearts
That's what happened to us

Chorus:
WE LOST THE MIDDLE GROUND
Where our hearts used to meet
We lost the Solid Earth
Where we used to stand
We stopped trying and love died
Now we stand on enemy sides
Defending our hearts to the fight
WE LOST THE MIDDLE GROUND

Verse:
The pictures in the wedding album
Changed their meaning overnight
You started picking what to keep
I had to find a new place to sleep
Shouting still rings in my ears
Your face red with rage
We threw clothes in anger
Slammed doors and pointed fingers

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Bursts of anger and fiery insults
Ate our love from the inside
So much anger, so much pain
Our love will never be the same

Tag/Ending:
WE LOST THE MIDDLE GROUND
Where our hearts used to meet
