From across the room, I can feel this tension between us.
It's always there, just outta sight.
An' we both know, that love don't live here anymore.
You don't have to say it, I can read between the lines.
Who's gonna leave an' who's gonna stay,
An' how long can this house an' two cars,
An' 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 an' too scared to quit.
We took to heart the vows we made,
But somehow lost the will:
Yeah, we said: "I do,"
But do we still?
Hangin' on the wall is an eight by ten reminder:
You in your gown, me in my rented tux.
We had it all when all we had was each other,
But now it's gone: that ol' 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 an' 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?
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 an' too scared to quit.
We took to heart the vows we made,
But somehow lost the will;
Oh, somehow lost all the will:
Oh, we said: "I do,"
But do we still?
(Do we still?)
(Do we still?)
