Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Hearts?

Why do lovers break each others hearts?
Oh, tell me why do lovers have to drift apart,
When we met the world was right,
Now I'm crying every night,
Why do lovers break each others hearts?

Why do lovers break each others 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 others hearts?

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 dream we're dreaming oh-oh-oh-of?

Why do lovers break each others hearts?
Oh, tell me why do lovers have to drift apart,
When we met the world was right,
Now I'm crying every night,
Why do lovers break each others hearts? (Instrumental)

When we met the world was right,
Now I'm crying every night,
Why do lovers break each others hearts,

Why do lovers break each others hearts?
(repeat to fade)
