Singing the Same Song

In the middle of all the chaos, I wrote a song about how Former-Friend and I seem to be saying the same things about each other. I have the lyrics worked out and I have the melody in my head. I'm really crappy at getting it down on paper, though. It's taking forever to ferret out the notes. But here are the lyrics. The song is a duet. The red is one part, the blue is the other part, and the purple is together:

Singing the Same Song
We’re both saying the same things
But about each other
Can we both be right?
Can we both be wrong?
Can we learn to be okay after hurting so long?
Why can’t you see?
We’re singing the same song

How could you betray me?
How could you demean me?
How could you say the things you said?
How could I have trusted you?
How could I have fought for you?
When you cut until I bled
Like a knife into my back
Like a bullet through the heart
Why can’t you see
You’re tearing me apart?

We’re both saying the same things
But about each other
Can we both be right?
Can we both be wrong?
Can we learn to be okay after hurting so long?
Why can’t you see?
We’re singing the same song

I was always there for you
I always have cared for you
I thought we had each others’ backs
All that I gave up for you
Everything I gave to you
After all I’ve done for you
I promised I’d die for you
I promised I’d live for you
Why can’t you see
What you’ve done to me?

We’re both saying the same things
But about each other
Can we both be right?
Can we both be wrong?
Can we learn to be okay after hurting so long?
Why can’t you see?
We’re singing the same song

I thought that you’d be here
I thought that you’d be near
And now you’re gone
I’ve never had to walk alone
I never thought I’d be alone
Now I’m the only one here
You threw everything away
You ruined all that we had
Why can’t you see
I’ll never be the same

We’re both saying the same things
But about each other
Can we both be right?
Can we both be wrong?
Can we learn to be okay after hurting so long?
Why can’t you see?
We’re singing the same song

We’re both saying the same things
But about each other
Can we both be right?
Can we both be wrong?
Can we learn to be okay after hurting so long?
Why can’t you see?
We’re singing the same song

We’re both
Singing
THE SAME SONG
