[Verse 1]

I'll pick you up at the same time

At the same place, the same old drive

And we'll just talk about our day

To try to fill the awkward space tonight

We'll play the songs we used to love

While we try to fall in love again

And we don't know who's wrong or right

But we don't even care enough to fight

[Chorus]

We're going through the motions

'Cause we can't fix what's broken

And I know it's gonna hurt

But darling, I'll go first

'Cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words

No, I won't keep on saying those three empty words

[Verse 2]

We're still talking everyday

I'm running out of things to say to ya

What's really gonna break my heart

Is to have to tell your little brother

And it might be easier to stay

But it'll never be the same, no, oh, no

And if something doesn't change

Then we'll keep on sinking further

[Chorus]

Oh, we're going through the motions (Yeah)

'Cause we can't fix what's broken

And I know it's gonna hurt

But darling, I'll go first

'Cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words

[Bridge]

Those three empty words

Will only make it worse

I'm tired, I can't take it anymore

And those three empty words

Will only make it worse

We're tired, we can't take it anymore

[Chorus]

We're going through the motions

'Cause we can't fix what's broken, no

And I know it's gonna hurt

But darling, I'll go first

I won't keep on saying those three empty words

[Outro]

We don't have to keep on saying those three empty words

No, I can't keep on saying those three empty words
