Lyric
You’ve got your secrets, girl I’ve got mineWe’re fallin’ apart one glance at a timeNight after night, actin’ like strangersOut of emotion, nothing to sayI brush your shoulder but you turn awayNobody tries, nobody’s changin’Who’ll be the first to say it’s really the endWho’s gonna walk out the doorHow did we let it get so out of controlOur hearts can’t take anymoreThen we remember how much we love each otherPick the pieces up for one more tryThen we remember how much we need each otherDo we really want to say goodbyeOne night of passion won’t stop the painBack to the same old feelin’ againTime after time, is it worth savin’Who’ll be the first to say it’s really the endWho’s gonna walk out the doorHow did we let it get so out of controlOur hearts can’t take anymoreThen we remember how much we love each otherPick the pieces up for one more tryThen we remember how much we need each otherDo we really want to say goodbyeThen we remember how much we love each otherPick the pieces up for one more tryThen we remember how much we need each otherDo we really want to say goodbyeThen we remember how much we love each otherPick the pieces up for one more tryThen we remember how much we need each otherDo we really want to say goodbyeThen we remember how much we love each otherPick the pieces up for one more tryThen we remember how much we need each otherDo we really want to say goodbye
