It's coming all apart babe
With every tearing word
I've lost my taste for what I take from you
When a painful night of silence
Is the sweetest sound I've heard
If I play your game I'm cheating on the truth

(Chorus)

It takes too many tears to make love strong
Too much of me for me and you to get along
I'd need another lifetime but I'll never last that long
It takes too many tears to make love strong

It takes a lot of living
A lot of going through
To finally see and end to going down
There's no getting up my courage
For making up with you
'Cause making up just finds another round

(Repeat chorus x 2)
