You say I love you

I say: Me too

We don't think much about it

It's just a thing that we do

We go out walkin'

We don't talk much

We lie down together

But our hearts never touch

Oh, baby, it's a hard way

It's an eternity

We got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need

We never go to bed angry

'Cause we never fight

Yeah, we never go crazy

In the middle of the night

We could stay here forever

Just holdin' on

We both had our reasons

But our reasons are gone

Oh, baby, it's a hard way

It's an eternity

We got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need

In our hearts we knew better

But we couldn't let go

Now it's time to quit hidin'

What we've always known

If somethin' was missing

We were too scared to look

Too busy tellin' our stories

Instead of writin' a book

Oh, baby, it's a hard way

It's an eternity

We got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need

Oh, baby, it's a hard way

It's an eternity

We got the life that we wanted

Not the love that we need
