TWO BROKEN HEARTS LONELY LOOKING LIKE
HOUSES WHERE NOBODY LIVES
TWO PEOPLE EACH HAVING SO MUCH PRIDE INSIDE,
NEITHER SIDES FORGIVES
THE ANGRY WORDS SPOKEN IN HASTE,
SUCH A WASTE OF TWO LIVES
IT'S MY BELIEF, PRIDE IS THE CHIEF CAUSE AND THE DECLINE
IN THE NUMBERS OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES

IT'S MY BELIEF, PRIDE IS THE CHIEF CAUSE AND THE DECLINE
IN THE NUMBERS OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES
A WOMAN AND A MAN, A MAN AND A WOMAN,
SOME CAN AND SOME CAN'T, AND SOME CAN'T
THE ANGRY WORDS SPOKEN IN HASTE,
SUCH A WASTE OF TWO LIVES
