Lyrics

(Male sings verse one)
For all this time I longed to be your man
Can't get no traction with my wheels in the sand
But the hit and run heartbreaks
Brought us back where we began
To that Texas town on Friday nights
Makin' out behind the bleacher lights
First time lovers, never felt that spark again
Somehow we settled for second best
"You headed east", "and you just drifted out West"
How could we lose the promise of love that was so blessed

We were somewhere in the middle
Of two broken hearts
Picking up the pieces
Wondering where to start
pulled in all directions
Young hearts torn apart
Somewhere in the middle of two broken hearts

(female sings verse 2)
For all this time I loved his uptown world
But somewhere inside I'm still that small town girl
They try to compromise you, and buy you with diamonds and pearls
(male)
And if I thought for awhile your heart would never stray
I'd dress you up in style if I only had my way
I'd walk you down the aisle,
But baby even then you wouldn't stay
(together)
Oh he was second hand, second best
I carried that flame inside of my chest
How could we lose the promise of love that was so blessed

Chorus

Bridge
Maybe we're just too easily persuaded
Living in a jaded limbo land
Baby I've waited, ultimated
Too many lines drawn in the sand
Love is too complicated, Overated
But life never turns out like we planned
When you gonna make a move
Cuz this love is fading
But it's so hard when you're standing somewhere
Somewhere in the middle

Chorus
