Where did we go wrong
We had all the magic to put us on our way
And all the tragedy that we ever want to see
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come

Where did we go wrong
Was it so enlightening we couldn't find our way?
All so frightening
We couldn't see which move to make
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come

And if you leave me now
Like you say you might
Oh please don't leave me now
'cause I know, if you do
None of this will come true so

Where do we go now
Now your heart is aching
And leading you astray
Me I'm burning up
Tryin' to get you to stay
'cause you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And you know the best is still to come

And if you leave me now
Like you say you might
Oh please don't leave me now
'cause I know, if you do
None of this will come true, so

Where did we go wrong
We had all the magic to put us on our way
And all the tragedy, that we ever want to see
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And you know the best is yet to come
