We Never Should Have Been Lovers

If I knew we'd get older, I'd have told you

If I had seen today could never last

If I knew better, we'd have danced forever

But now we're only dancing in the past

And I know you were played, so we'll run it back

It was always the place we were coming from

If we believe that we're done

Then all this running's for nothing

Now I can see that we're caught up

Under this Cold War, fighting for nothing

And it's okay we were young

The way we looked at the others

Now I can see that it all comes down to the flaw

We never should have been lovers

Now I'm done crying over you

If you could only remember

How it all broke over the day I said to you

That if I could tell you how it felt to lose

Then the thought to break this down would never do

And I know you were played, so we'll run it back

It was always the place we were coming from

If we believe that we're done

Then all this running's for nothing

Now I can see that we're caught up

Under this Cold War, fighting for nothing

But it's okay, we were young

The way we looked at the others

Now I can see that it all comes down to the flaw

We never should have been lovers

And I can't speak

It's on the tip of my tongue, but I'm holding it back

Oh, and I can't sleep

There's something pulling me down, and I'm holding it back

And I know you were played, so we'll run it back

It was always the place we were coming from

If we believe that we're done

Then all this running's for nothing

Now I can see that we're caught up

Under this Cold War, fighting for nothing

But it's okay, we were young

The way we looked at the others

Now I can see that it all comes down to the flaw

We never should have been lovers

I can see that it all comes down to the flaw

We never should have been lovers
