(T. B. Schmit/W. Jennings/B. Gaitsch)

Seems these days there is no one talking
Breaking up and they're breaking down
You and I fight almost all night
Leaves us crying in the morning light

Never knowing where we're going
Is it so hard to live together
Living lonely this sadness on me
I just don't want to hurt forever

Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it's shining
Out in the night I can hear the song
I've made all I can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take - down so low
Love me or let me go

City streets and the people homeless
Can't come up with another chance
You and I - we had so much going
Music plays but we just can't dance

You go your way - I'll go mine
Let's find out what makes life worth living
Nights of laughter - mornings after
Someone wants what I've been giving

Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it's shining
Out in the night I can hear the song
I've made all I can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take - down so low
Love me or let me go
