FROM ACROSS THE ROOM
I CAN FEEL THIS TENSION
BETWEEN US
IT'S ALWAYS THERE
UH JUST OUTTA SIGHT
AND WE BOTH KNOW
THAT LOVE DON'T
LIVE HERE ANYMORE
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO SAY IT
I CAN READ BETWEEN
THE LINES
AND WHO'S
GONNA LEAVE
AND WHO'S GONNA STAY
AND HOW LONG
CAN THIS HOUSE
AND TWO CARS
AND ONE LITTLE GIRL
STAND IN OUR WAY
HOW LONG CAN WE KEEP
HOLDIN' ON
TO SOMETHIN'
THAT'S ALREADY GONE
GIRL LIFE'S TOO SHORT
TO LOVE LIKE THIS
TOO TIRED TO TRY
TOO SCARED TO QUIT
AND WE TOOK TO HEART
THE VOWS WE MADE
BUT SOMEHOW LOST
THE WILL
YEAH WE SAID I DO
BUT DO WE STILL
'A HANGIN' ON THE WALL
IS AN EIGHT BY TEN
REMINDER
'A YOU IN YOUR GOWN
ME IN MY RENTED TUX
WE HAD IT ALL
'A WHEN ALL WE HAD
WAS EACH OTHER
BUT NOW IT'S GONE
THAT OLD PICTURE
GATHERS DUST
HOW LONG CAN WE KEEP
HOLDIN' ON
TO SOMETHIN'
THAT'S ALREADY GONE
GIRL LIFE'S TOO SHORT
TO LOVE LIKE THIS
TOO TIRED TO TRY
AND TOO SCARED
TO QUIT
WE TOOK TO HEART
THE VOWS WE MADE
BUT SOMEHOW LOST
THE WILL
OH WE SAID I DO
BUT DO WE STILL
4 BAR
BREAK
HOW LONG CAN WE KEEP
HOLDIN' ON
TO SOMETHIN'
THAT'S ALREADY GONE
GIRL LIFE'S TOO SHORT
TO LOVE LIKE THIS
TOO TIRED TO TRY
TOO SCARED TO QUIT
WE TOOK TO HEART
THE VOWS WE MADE
BUT SOMEHOW LOST
THE WILL
OH SOMEHOW WE LOST
ALL THE WILL
OH WE SAID I DO
BUT DO WE STILL
