Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) Lyrics
Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Feeling that it's gone
Can't change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide
Love divides
[Chorus: Both]
Someday, love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways
[Verse 2: Lzzy Hale, Both]
Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, in vain, in vain
If you must go
I wish you luck
You'll never walk alone
Take care, my love
Miss you, love
[Chorus: Both]
Someday, love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways
[Bridge: Lzzy Hale, Chris Daughtry, Both]
Oh
I still love you, babe
I still love you, girl
I really love you, babe
I really love you, girl
Oh (Oh)
[Chorus: Both]
Someday, love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways
(Though we went our separate ways)
(Though we went our separate ways)
(Though we went our separate ways)
(Though we went our separate ways)

Chris Daughtry on collaborating with Lzzy Hale:
When we first had the idea to do this, we knew it would be special. We felt really good about it and we were excited, but we had no idea it was going to make the noise it’s making. The fact that I get in the car and it comes on the radio, it makes me look so cool to my kids. I called her up and told her I’ve got the song for us. I said, ‘Are you in,’ and she said, ‘That’s my go-to karaoke song. I’m all in. I’ve sung with a lot of great vocalists and worked with a lot of people I respect, but there was something about the way our vocals gelled together that was kind of unexpected and really cool. We were both high-fiving and really digging the way it was coming out.

Chris Daughtry on how Journey’s song “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” was chosen to cover:
We were shooting for something in the ‘80s, that iconic synth sound that we could make heavy. The first idea was “The Final Countdown,” but the more I thought about it, I was like, 'Guys, it’s going to be hard to get the cheese off of this one.’ The only picture in my head was us doing a karate montage.
