[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm on the verge of nowhere

The sight, the sound with nobody there

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm on the verge of nowhere

The sight, the sound with nobody there

[Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

There comes a time, my love (my love)

There comes a time

A friend for summer is a friend forever

So they say and so we go

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Falling off the edge of nowhere

The sight, the sound of nobody there

[Chorus]

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?

You can't break the pieces of a broken heart in two (why do you?)

Why do you?

You can't break the pieces of a broken heart in two

Tell me, tell me, why?

Tell me, tell me, why?

Tell me, tell me, why?

Tell me, tell me, why?

Tell me, tell me, why?

Tell me, tell me, why?
