  • Was it the trick of the light?
    Or a shot in the dark?
    Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
    Was it something I said?
    Or just a cruel twist of fate?
    Was it hell or high water
    Is it too late?
    Oh, is it too late?

    Man, all my life I've been
    Searching for someone
    To show me how it feels to be loved
    And how to love somebody back
    And after stumbling through the years
    I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night

    Was it the trick of the light?
    Or a shot in the dark?
    Was it hell or high water that broke her hearts?
    Was it something you said?
    Or just a cruel twist of fate?
    Was it hell or high water
    And is it too late?

    See, all my life I've been
    Silently reaching for
    A hand to hold, to warm the colder
    Sparkle lights, to guide me through, alright?
    And after stumbling through the years
    I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night

    Was it the trick of the light?
    Or a shot in the dark?
    Was it hell or high water
    That broke our hearts?
    Was it something we did?
    Or just a cruel twist of fate?
    Was it hell or high water
    And is it too late?

    Was it a knife in my back?
    Or a fork in the road?
    Was it hell or high water that left us alone?
    Is it really game over?
    Is it really checkmate?
    Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
    Oh, is it too late?

    Was it the trick of the light?
    Or a shot in the dark?
    Was it hell or high water that broke her heart? Writer/s: Michael David Rosenberg
