It's funny what life does
When your head's in the sand
You hide from the battle, you're losing it
It's funny what lust does
When your heart's in the clouds
Crossing our wires, and we're fusing now
Tell myself that you're never at home
Tell myself that I'm better alone
Tryin' to find a reason, but I'm all out of reasons
You tell yourself you're better alone
Don't fool yourself 'cause we both know
We don't need a reason to stop
I don't wanna call this love
But I don't wanna call it time
Even though it hurts the most
When I'm by your side
We're slaves to the cycle that never ends
Will we ever break these chains
Or do we just love this way?
It's funny what time does
When you're waiting around
The pendulum stops, and your heart slows down
Do we care if it hurts?
Every time that we touch
With a slip of the tongue, we're in trouble now
Tell myself that you're never at home
Tell myself that I'm better alone
Tryin' to find a reason, but I'm all out of reasons
Tell yourself you're better alone
Don't fool yourself 'cause we both know
We don't need a reason to stop
I don't wanna call this love
But I don't wanna call it time
Even though it hurts the most
When I'm by your side
We're slaves to the cycle that never ends
Will we ever break these chains
Or do we just love this way?
The writing's on the wall for us
We design our own mistakes
No lessons learned, no boundaries
Can we straighten out our twisted fate?
I don't wanna call this love
But I don't wanna call it time
Even though it hurts the most
When I'm by your side
We're slaves to the cycle that never ends
Keep ignoring the warnings, we fall again
Will we ever break these chains
Or do we just love this way?
