I don't know why we act like that You hurt me, I only hurt you back I can't believe how carelessly we say those things That put our love in danger You wouldn't say that to a stranger We hurt the ones we love When we say those words in anger Do we ever make it up We say what we don't mean And then we say we're sorry later But you wouldn't say that to a stranger Last night there was over in the air Today it's gone just like it was never there And I don't know where those hateful words come from It goes against our nature You wouldn't say that to a stranger We hurt the ones we love When we say those words in anger Do we ever make it up We say what we don't mean And then we say we're sorry later But you wouldn't say that to a stranger Let's pretend that we just met And we said nothing we regret We say what we don't mean And then we say we're sorry later But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
