We pass in the hall on our way to separate rooms The only time we'll ever talk is when the monthly bills are due We go to work, we go to church We fake a perfect life I passed the point of giving a damn All my tears are cried We can just go on like this Or say the word, we'll call it quits Baby, you can go or you can stay But I wanna love you either way It's been so long since I've felt Anything inside these walls You can't heal, you can't hurt? When you don't feel at all I used to cry and stay up nights And wonder what went wrong It's been hard But hearts can only do that for so long We can't just go on like this Say the word, we'll call it quits Baby, you can go or you can stay I wanna love you either way We can't just go on like this Say the word, we'll call it quits Baby, you can go or you can stay But I wanna love you either way
