The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't know the reason why we do these things
Why we fight despite all the tears and the hurt it brings
I know no one else can fill this space inside our hearts
So then why are we trying to make us break apart
(Chorus)
If we love each other
Why do we hurt each other
If we need each other
Why do we make each other cry
If we care about each other
Why do we bring pain to one another
Why do we make each other sad
Treat each other bad
If we love each other, why do we hurt each other this way
Oh I don't see why you and me can't get it right
Oh I can't recall the last time that we kissed goodnight
I know no one else has touched my soul as much as you
And it's such a shame the pain we put each other through
(Chorus)
Oh can't we try to bring some feeling back to you and I
We can't go on like we are, we can't keep playing these parts
We can't keep breaking these hearts baby
(Chorus)
- Oh baby
- Why do we hurt each other
- I don't know, don't know why, Oh I don't
- I don't wanna hurt no more, no more, no more, no more
- Oh don't hurt me no more, no more
- I hurt you
- You hurt me
- That ain't how it's supposed to be, Oh, when we're in love
- Do you love me
- I love you
- I know you do
-You love me
- I sure do
- Let's make love tenderly all night long, all night long...
