How come we can't get along?
We tried so hard and it all goes wrong.
It's hard to be wise and strong
When time is short and nights are long …

Problems always come around
When dreams are built on shaky ground.
When and way out can't be found.
Crying at night is a lonely sound.

REFRAIN:
We don't know what to do
To find a way to get us through.
What is right, what is true,
What is good for me and you …
What is good for me and you.

Sorry can be hard to say
When pride and fear get in the way.
It just gets worse from day to day ...
Sorry can be hard to say …

So close your eyes and let it go,
Let your dreams drift with the flow.
It takes time for love to grow.
Close your eyes and let it go.

REFRAIN

How come we can't get along?
We tried so hard and it all goes wrong.

When time is short and nights are long …

When time is short ... and nights are long ...
