Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know the sun is shining
It's raining in my heart
I don't know what to do
Since we've been apart
[Verse 2]
Why don't you tell me, babe
What is going on?
You know I love you, darling
Don't wanna be alone
[Verse 3]
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
[Verse 4]
You know I can't go on
Feeling this old way
You know my heart is burning
Burning everyday
[Verse 5]
You know I love you, baby
No one else will do
Why don't you reconsider
What I want you to?
[Verse 6]
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
[Verse 7]
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
[Verse 8]
Your friends are tearing us apart
Tearing us apart
