Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't you feel like trying something new?

Don't you feel like breaking out, or breaking us in two?

[Chorus]

You don't do the things that I do

You want to do things I can't do

Always something breaking us in two

[Verse 2]

You and I could never live alone

But don't you feel like breaking out just one day on your own?

[PreChorus]

Why does what I'm saying hurt you?

I didn't say that we were through

Always something breaking us in two

[Bridge]

They say two hearts should beat as one for us

We'll fight it out to see it through

I say that won't be too much fun for us

Though it's oh so nice to get advice

It's oh so hard to do

[Verse 3]

Could we be much closer if we tried?

We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes

[Chorus]

Maybe we could last an hour

Maybe then we'd see right through

Always something breaking us in two

[Bridge]

They say two hearts should beat as one for us

We'll fight it out to see it through

I say that won't be too much fun for us

Though it's oh so nice to get advice

It's oh so hard to do

[Verse 4]

Could we be much closer if we tried?

We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes

[Chorus]

Maybe we could last an hour

Maybe then we'd see right through

Always something breaking us in two

Always something breaking us in two
