Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
Oh, tell me, why do lovers have to drift apart?
When we met, the world was bright, now I'm crying every night
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
[Verse 2]
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
Oh, tell me, why can't lovers finish what they start?
A year ago, we were one, now just look at what we've done
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
[Bridge]
Help me, help me, I don't understand
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Tell me, tell me, where's the life we planned?
Where are the dreams that we were dreaming of?
[Verse 3]
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
Oh, tell me, why do lovers have to drift apart?
When we met, the world was bright, now I'm crying every night
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
[Verse 4]
When we met, the world was bright, now I'm crying every night
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
[Outro]
Why do lovers break each other's hearts? (Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me, tell me, why, why, why?)
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
Why do lovers break each other's hearts? (Why do lovers break each other's hearts?)
Why do lovers break each other's hearts? (Tell me why, why, why, why do lovers, oh, why, why, why, why, why)
Why do lovers break each other's hearts?
