You say this ain't over yet I've said things that I regret Won't be easy to forget Scars take time to heal Before another bitter word gets loose I was hoping we could call a truce Cause nobody wins, we both lose Hearts get broken and love get bruised When we light that same old fuse Again and again Nobody wins slamming doors We've both lost this fight before And I won't play that game no more Cause nobody wins Darlin' we've got too much pride It don't matter who's wrong or right Honey love ain't black and white It's the way I feel about you All I wanna do is hold you tight I can't take another angry night When nobody wins, we both lose Hearts get broken and love get bruised When we light that same old fuse Again and again Nobody wins slamming doors We've both lost this fight before And I won't play that game no more Cause nobody wins I know something's bound to break If we don't bend Baby, what's it gonna take Nobody wins, we both lose Hearts get broken and love get bruised When we light that same old fuse Again and again Nobody wins slamming doors We've both lost this fight before And I won't play that game no more Cause nobody wins Nobody wins Nobody wins Nobody wins
