We tried to write, but the words wouldn't come We showed emotion until we went numb Would've made more love if only we had some Would've had the answers if we weren't so dumb We couldn't read, there wasn't room inside We said goodbye to one another and passed on by We thought we were clever, we thought we were smart We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart We saw the promises slip through our hands Just trying to make each other understand Does it ever work out the way you plan? How do you get back to where you begin? We couldn't read, there wasn't room inside We said goodbye to one another and passed on by We thought we were clever, we thought we were smart We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart Maybe with time apart, we'll soften the way we feel But if we don't lose the hearts, oh, we'll never heal I can't explain the things that I do One thing for certain, I know is true I can't see me loving someone new It may take a lot of time to get over you We couldn't read, there wasn't room inside We said goodbye to one another and passed on by We thought we were clever, we thought we were smart We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart
