I did my best

but I guess

my best

wasn't good enough

'Cos here we are

back where we

were before

Seems nothin'

ever changes,

we're back to

bein' strangers

Wondering whether

we ought to stay

or head on

out the door

Just once,

could we figure out

what we keep

doin' wrong

Why we never

last for very long

What are we

doin' wrong?

Just once

can we find a way

to finally

make it right?

Make the magic

last for more than

just one night

If we could

just get to it

I know we could

break through it

I gave my all

but I think my all

may have been

too much

And Lord knows

we're not

getting anywhere

It seems we're

always blowin'

whatever we've

got goin'

And it seems

at times with

all we've got

We haven't

got a prayer

Just once

can we figure out

what we keep

doin' wrong

Why the

good times

never last for long

Where are

we goin' wrong?

Just once

can we find a way

to finally

make it right?

Make the magic

last for more than

just one night

I know we

could break

through it

If we could

just get to it

Just once

I want to understand

Why it always

comes back

to goodbye

Why can't we

get ourselves

in hand

And admit to

one another

we're no good

without each other

If it's best to

make it better,

find a way to

stay together

Just once

can we find a way

to finally make

it right?

Make the magic

last for more than

just one night

I know we could

break through it

If we could

just get to it,

just once

Whoah, we can

get through it,

just once
