It's not the way you bring me to my knees It's not the way you borrow, beg or plead It could be false although it could be true A simple touch, a hand to hold onto I'm on the verge of nowhere The sight, the sound, of nobody there You can't break the pieces of a broken heart in two So why do you You can't break the pieces of a broken heart in two Tell me tell me why do you It's not the way you look from side to side Unlock the door, you need not run and hide It could be true we've taken it a bit too far Sweet and simple is all we really are There comes a time, my love, there comes a time A friend for summer is a friend forever So they say and so we go Do you believe I would hide the truth from you Oh silly girl, there's things I would rather do We spend our time in search of the perfect rhyme When all the while, we have it all the time Falling off the edge of nowhere The sight, the sound, of nobody there You can't break the pieces of a broken heart in two, So why do you You can't break the pieces of a broken heart in two, So tell me tell me why do you
