I don't know why
we act like that
You hurt me
I only hurt you back
I can't believe
how carelessly
we say those things
That put our love in danger
You wouldn't say that
to a stranger
We hurt the ones we love
When we say those
words in anger
Do we ever make it up
We say what we don't mean
Then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that
to a stranger
Last night
there was over in the air
Today it's gone
Just like it was never there
And I don't know
where those hateful
words come from
It goes against our nature
You wouldn't say that
to a stranger
We hurt the ones we love
When we say those
words in anger
Do we ever make it up
We say what we don't mean
Then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that
to a stranger
Let's pretend
that we just met
And we've said
nothin' we regret
We say what we don't mean
Then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that
to a stranger
