pay attention
she gets the house and garden, he takes the boat and car
both their hearts have hardened to the way things are
they’re not quite sure what happened, didn’t see it slip away
there wasn’t any big problem, they just forgot to pay attention
didn’t pay attention
it happens all too often, love dies in vain
we drive the nails in the coffin and just bury the blame
so many excuses, we’ll say it’s hard to explain
when the simple truth is we just forgot to pay attention
should have paid attention
well it’s harder than it seems
so many things get in the way
but when you think of what you stand to lose
it’s not such a high price to pay
attention
