Riff A (first 5 bars, then fade out)
Why do we sit around and break each others hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around the issues till the morning light?
When we sit and talk and tear each others lives apart,
You were the one to tell me go,
But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each others hearts tonight,
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all of mother God,
Tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, you're breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us,
Why do we sit around and break each others hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around the issues till the morning light?
When we sit and talk and
Tear each others lives apart,
You were the one to tell me go,
But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each others hearts tonight,
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all of mother God,
Tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, you're breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us,
Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever,
Forever alive, forever alive, forever,
Never and ever again,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, you're breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us,
Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever,
Forever alive, forever alive, forever,
Never and ever again.
