[Verse 1]
Give me time to think it over, I'm not ready to begin
I just need a little space to clear my head
We were dogs caught in a fury, thirsty for each other's blood
I just don't know if it's safe to be standing face to face
Until we're both ready to change and walk as one

[Chorus]
Oh, dear friend, how did we come to this?
Who are we if we can't set aside our differences?

[Verse 2]
Are we willing to erase the scroll of wrong?
How are wе to be united when our hands arе wrought with sin?
We can wash away the filth, standing hand in hand as friends
There's no rules we have to bend to walk together

[Chorus]
Oh, dear friend, how did we come to this?
Who are we if we can't set aside our differences?

[Verse 3]
Time can be our sweet companion but it won't resolve disputes
We are bound to follow footsteps of our fathers
It ain't easy to be honest but it's what we've gotta do
We are both ourselves to blame, so let's talk about your pain
You can hear about my pain
We can say each other's names without resentment

[Chorus]
Oh, dear friend, how did we come to this?
Who are we if we can't set aside our differences?
Oh, dear friend, it doesn't always have to be like this
Who we are is more than the sum of all our differences
