"Shut Us Down" lyrics

Oh you and I we sure can dream
Of conversations that might have been
I know that I treat you unkind
And long ago I lost my mind

And even after all these years
I can't even see you clear
I know that you must lie sometimes
To hide the truth you're trying to find

Oh I won't shut us down
No I will stay around
As long as I can
As long as I can

Even after all these years
I can't even see you clear
A child is born, another dies
And every life has its price

Oh I won't shut us down
No I will stay around
As long as I can
As long as I can
