Lyrics
Matter of Convenience
Written and performed by Howard Lee Naylor
Tell me how has it all come down to this
seems like yesterday we shared our first kiss
we shared the same dream we spent all our days together
When made our vows we thought it would last forever
Tell me how has it all come down to this
Chorus
We shared our years together
We shed the tears
We shared our love forever
We never counted on the distance
We've become a matter of convenience
These four walls still echoes of happier times
the pictures reflect our journey were leaving behind
Kids are gone our work is done there's nowhere we can hide
All that's left is an emptiness where love used to reside
Tell me how has it all come down to this
Chorus
We gave our hearts forever
Now were worlds apart
With no new start together
We never counted on the distance
We've become a matter of convenience
Bridge
Can't you see we've changed Oh we can't deny
We see each other now with different eyes
staying together living the perfect lie
All that's left is to find the strength and say goodbye
Chorus
We shared our years together
We shed the tears
We shared our love forever
We never counted on the distance
We've become a matter of convenience
