I can think of no song that more perfectly captures what we see here every day - and it really didn't "click" until I saw the video;
Baby, what are we becoming? It feels just like we're always running Rolling through the motions every day
I could lean in to hold you Or act like I don't even know you Seems like you could care less either way
What happened to that girl I used to know? I just want us back to the way we were before
Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby? Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy? Do I have your love? Am I still enough? Tell me, don't I? Or tell me, do I, baby
Give you everything that you ever wanted? Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely? Do I just need to give up and get on with my life? Baby, do I?
Remember when we didn't have nothing But a perfect simple kind of loving? Baby, those sure were the days
There was a time our love ran wild and free But now I'm second guessing everything I see!
Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby? Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy? Do I have your love? Am I still enough? Tell me, don't I? Or tell me, do I, baby
Give you everything that you ever wanted? Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely? Do I just need to give up and get on with my life?
Baby, do I still give you what you need? Still take your breath away? Light up the spark way down deep? Baby, do I?!
Whoa! Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby? Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy? Do I have your love? Am I still enough? Tell me, don't I? Or tell me, do I, baby
Give you everything that you ever wanted? Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely? Do I just need to give up and get on with my life? Tell me baby, do I get one more try? Do I? Baby, do I?

The sentiment is echoed by many a BH showing up. Especially those unaware or in denial.

The first verse of this song sets it up to sound what happens to a child that sees a marriage suffer from infidelity;
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind. He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore That she would never let herself forget. And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling, You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts. And we've got to find other ways to make it alone. Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I have sworn to myself That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality, But I can't let go of what's in front of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up. Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
You are the only exception. [4x]
You are the only exception. [4x]
And I'm on my way to believing. Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Early one morning while you were asleep I received a letter, but there was no addressee So I paid it no mind, in fact, I wanted to send it back But something that I was feeling said open it It said "Dear Reader, once close friend of mine Hope that this letter finds you in time Cos your love is ending And my life's just beginning With a woman that I know you hold dear to you" And it made me wanna say I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't, I don't) But I stuck by you till the end And my conscience is clear And I can move on from here But I wish I could say the same for you baby (Yeah yeah yeah) I don't ever wanna see you again (no) Tell me why did it have to be my best friend (Why did it have to be) That you were messing round with I didn't wanna notice it I was true to my love for you-ou It took me a minute to wake up and see What the love of my life was doing to me I wanted to lay down and die Cos my pride wouldn't let me cry Some how I knew I had to get over it He said he couldn't understand until he felt your touch Now he can see why I love you so much And that's so unfair I never thought I'd have to share Your love that I thought was given to only me And that's why I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't wanna see) But I stuck by you till the end And my conscience is clear (clear) And I can move on from here But I wish I could say the same for you baby (ooh) I don't ever wanna see you again Tell me why did it have to be my best friend (You could of picked anybody) That you were messing round with I didn't wanna notice it I was true to my love for you (I was so true to my love for you) And you say you loved me (And you said you loved me baby) Love must of been blind Cos I sure didn't see this one coming I once was blind but now I see My best friend huh They say keep the ones you love close And your enemies even closer But I can't win or lose you (You are the closest thing to me baby) Cos the one I thought was a friend to me Ended up being my true enemy Do we know the real pain you go through Listen to me baby I gave you everything, my love and my ring And you, violated me And I don't wanna see you again I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't wanna see) But I stuck by you till the end And my conscience is clear (clear) And I can move on from here But I wish I could say the same for you baby (ooh) I don't ever wanna see you again Tell me why did it have to be my best friend (You could of picked anybody) That you were messing round with I didn't wanna notice it I was true to my love for you (I was so true to my love for you)
